Patient Stories
Kelly with Alan Alda Kelley Becomes a Star
Kelley Flynn had been profoundly deaf since she was two. What little hearing she had -- boosted by a conventional hearing aid -- was worsening. All of that changed when, at the age of 7, she received a cochlear implant from Children's Hospital Boston. Her story was featured in April 2005 on the PBS series "Scientific American Frontiers".

Childrens' Cochlear Implant video helps teens decide if they want to get a cochlear implant.
