But on the contrary, some of the HI individuals have the chance to regain their ability to hear through the help of great devices science and technology brought.One of the lucky person among HI individuals is Joanne Milne, a 40-year-old British woman who took the opportunity to have her cochlear implant at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, England.
