Han fick tillbaka sin hörsel efter sex år
Vid tre års ålder så förlorade Joshua Gomez sin hörsel. Nu har han fått den tillbaka tack vare ny teknik, en iPhone och en ny app.
”Instead of traveling through the ear as a typical hearing aid does, where it’s in the ear, and going through all those parts of the ear, it’s actually using the bone for the sound to be able to be transmitted to the inner ear,” said Dr. Melissa Tribble, Stanford Children’s Health.
We were there as Joshua was outfitted with the Cochlear Baha 5, a cutting edge device that has allowed Joshua to hear out of both ears clearly for the very first time.
The device, made for the iPhone, gives him an opportunity to use Apple technology to better his life.
”If you have a hearing aid, don’t think that people will bully you and be mean to you cause really you’re really special and it’s really something that’s good about you,” said Joshua.
Joshua will enter the fifth grade this fall.
