Music for Hearing Impaired |
Cochlear implants provide deaf children and adults with the chance to hear speech. Does this mean they hear normally? No, and there are often problems with music. You'll get to hear some music written specially for kids with cochlear implants. You'll also get to learn a couple of songs written for them -- hope you're not scared of robots! |
