Description ▲
As a child with a deaf father, Graeme Clark dreamed that one day he would find a way to help deaf people hear. Here he tells his story of his vision of creating a bionic ear, including the lack of funding for such a radical idea and opposition from the deaf community, who said it shouldn't be done. He reveals the human dramas, including the trials and struggles of the first human "guinea pigs" and details the experiences of children and adults hearing again, or hearing for the first time.
