Our beautiful baby girl, Rielyn is now 18 months old and at about 9 months was diagnosed with bilateral profound hearing loss; that later was determined congenital. This means, she was born deaf and it was missed at her infant screening. Her hearing aids are not working for her so we have no other option to give her the best life possible and go ahead with cochlear implants. It is a very serious surgery…but she will hear!!!!
THORVALDSEYRI, Iceland Volcanic Eruption
THORVALDSEYRI, Iceland - As once-stranded European travelers return to their routine lives, farmers near the base of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano are only starting to grapple with long-term consequences of the recent eruption.
SILVER CITY, N.M. -- Lance Armstrong said Wednesday there were plenty of good reasons he wanted to return to the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico.
Big climbs, a time trial, a competitive field.
The seven-time Tour de France champion finished 22nd in the Tour of the Gila's opening stage, a 95-mile road race to Mogollon that was capped by a grueling climb over the final five miles.

|
BACKGROUND: An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a device that is surgically implanted into the brain of a deaf person who lacks auditory nerves or with a damaged auditory nerve. The auditory nerve is responsible for sending signals from the ear to the brain. The implant consists of a small electrode or multiple electrodes applied to the brainstem where it stimulates sound-producing nerves with electrical signals.
