Moment Deaf girl, 5, who was abandoned in Chinese town square hears for the first time after she was adopted by American couple.



Dailymail.co.uk - A Tulsa family is celebrating after the Deaf little girl they adopted from China was able to hear for the first time - a moment they described as 'breathtaking'. Gifted a cochlear implant, Jayde Scholl now squeals and laughs with delight as she listens to the sound of her adoptive mother Jaque Scholl's voice.



On Tuesday the implant was switched on, marking the end of a two adoption process for Jayde after she spent the first four-years of her life in a Chinese orphanage after being abandoned in a town square at the age of eight-months.

Luckily for Jayde, the Scholl's were looking to adopt and saw her on trip to China two-years-ago, but international adoptions take longer than domestic ones.



Once the paper-work was complete, the Scholl's brought Jayde to the United States just before Christmas.



However, Jaque, who is a doctor of audiology at her own School Center for the Deaf in Oklahoma, noticed something was wrong with her new daughter on the plane home.



She realized that Jayde wasn't paying attention or watching the in-flight video, even when the volume on the headphones was switched up to full. ...READ MORE: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2289388/Moment-deaf-girl-5-abandoned-Chinese-town-square-hears-time-adopted-American-couple.html

I'll admit that I am a bit weepy sometimes. I cried at the end of Les Miserables, so the moment that the Welsh National Orchestra string section got started, and Katherine Mount stood there, signing and singing to her profoundly deaf - but clearly enraptured - ten year old son Ethan, I wasn't surprised to feel myself choking up again. Watch Katherine Mount singing Ethan's Song on YouTube



It was towards the end of a long, joyful, but emotionally draining day with the orchestra and children from The Ysgol Maes Dyfan special school in Barry near Cardiff. Some of them are almost completely deaf and others have serious hearing problems, but the joy and enthusiasm shown by the children in their appreciation of the music they were experiencing was wonderful to see. ...

Deaf Gerbils 'Hear Again' After Stem Cell Cure

Media Video: Deaf gerbils 'hear again' after stem cell cure.



Health and science reporter, BBC News



UK researchers say they have taken a huge step forward in treating deafness after stem cells were used to restore hearing in animals for the first time.



Hearing partially improved when nerves in the ear, which pass sounds into the brain, were rebuilt in gerbils - a UK study in the journal Nature reports.



Getting the same improvement in people would be a shift from being unable to hear traffic to hearing a conversation.

However, treating humans is still a distant prospect. Fergus Walsh reports.



However, in about one in 10 people with profound hearing loss, nerve cells which should pick up the signal are damaged. It is like dropping the baton after the first leg of a relay race...Read more http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19570024.

Error captioning on television, which is not the first time the United Kingdom television media network has done it in the national broadcast.
