Taylor cochlear implant 2

[@c0d3x5]

I invested so much time into this already where is #3 video..

[@michaelhatchard8864]

Seems the whole family is there to support her. You people are amazing. The patient lady spends so much time explaining what to expect and the details of that. Such a brave young lady

[@WhiteLilacc]

Look at all the love in that room. ❤️

[@chuckstrough173]

I don’t think I have ever had so many happy tears. May she get better and better.

[@indiantinamorals5791]

Would LOVE an update on Taylor, how is she progressing etc.!

[@amozoness6]

Wow, the doctor's great. How well she explained that, making it seem effortless, is exactly how I want to be when I go into my practice.

[@toadabc]

So true! I have seen a number of these and this doctor is by far the best!

[@dalehenry5233]

I don’t understand, why it isn’t part of an audiologist’s training to learn sign language. It would certainly help deaf people like this young lady and would make it easier for the audiologist too.

[@chrisbowers6182]

Yeah... if Ur doing the work.. n they can't hear... they should learn to sign... that way there looking at the doctor to explain what's happening 😊

[@dalehenry5233]

@@chrisbowers6182 I was born deaf and completely understand what it’s like. We have the same issue in Australia with most audiologists who don’t know sign language. While we do have some that can, it has always been my belief it should be part of their training, particularly since they work with deaf and HOH people.

[@chrisbowers6182]

@dalehenry5233 exactly.. essentially when it's kids who just learned sign... u want em to trust u n be more comfortable with what's happening.. sign..

Why don't people follow up? Good or bad, how did it work out for her?

[@mannyespinola9228]

Props to the very articulate audiologist

[@TheBlue5sea]

Taylor is not surprised to heard the new cochlear implant when come to senses. I guess she been sign for years less voice oral. it will take time to heard new world sound. I never been to cochlear implant nor hearing aid. I used to read people on lip or voice oral.

[@djdazzydeaf7568]

Being deaf myself, i personally hate getting new hearing aids because you have to go through the frustration and wierd torture of retraining your brain to get accustomed to the new sounds and etc but once you get pass that ordeal your life improves dramatically.

[@Rnburse]

Am I the only one who thinks the person conducting the test should KNOW sign language?

[@shoopdj]

They usually do. I'm surprised this one doesn't.

[@blueturtle3623]

@@shoopdj No, they don't. Never met (or even heard of) one who does.

[@gradeahonky]

She was kind of bugging me towards the end there. She kept over emphasizing the struggle that the girl's brain will have with the new stimulus, as if the girl didn't understand. The lady should have been using that time to motivate the girl, and emphasize the fact that it can be done. Brains are amazingly adaptive. She never even mentioned that the person dropped in China would actually start to learn the language pretty quickly if they had to. I think she was thinking more about the camera and her analogies than the girl.

[@riddlescom]

They have speech to text screen now. She is relying on that guy to tell her everything. She was sheltered little it looks like.

[@whatabouttheearth]

They might but she also has to operate a computer

[@gailgriffith6243]

This lady did such a beautiful job of explaining what was happening.

[@Nasauniverse001]

A bit disappointing. I wanted to see her achieve something. Although incredibly technologically wonderful, it was rather boring, like the first one. I hope she is doing well, bless.

[@dalehenry5233]

As a cochlear implant wearer, I can say it is not immediate to be able ro hear at first switch, it does take a few mapping sessions before it starts to make any real sense. There is quite a difference between hearing aids and cochlear implants. For me it was after the 3rd mapping session that things started to sound normal. The other thing to is that is depends on how long the ear it’s self has been without any sound stimulation which can okay a big part in how much benefit someone will get from it.

[@j.j1060]

Where’s the part 3 .!

[@kiranranjitkar2748]

Great but Imperfect Video. WHERE are the Remaining Parts ?

[@douggauzy6258]

I am touched that this young lady has so many loved ones around her . She is beautiful . May God bless her so !

[@carolynwilliams7828]

Awesome video thanks 😢made me cry for her

[@msjdb723]

The fact that there's been no update isn't a good sign about the outcome. Either way, I have a feeling she will be fine. 🦋

[@kaniminocha3667]

I watched both the videos just because she is EXTREMELY CUTE !

[@brodytravis775]

She's such a precious young lady

[@14chstr]

This is wonderful. How is she now?

[@elcheapo9444]

She's a grandma now.

[@Jackle61]

Play some music for the girl. You don't need to know the language to enjoy music.

[@zhbroder]

have you heard what music sounds like through cochlear implants? there's a video on youtube of it.. the music is terrifying.. like 8 bit crazyness

[@Jackle61]

Cool, I'll check it out.

[@TemenosL]

Yeah that's not how it works. It's not just that you don't know the language yet. It's that your brain has not learned to process sound. Music would not sound good at all for the uninitiated.

[@linebacker79]

You’d think that they would do all of the anatomy explanation and intricate education prior to the activation. Then just do it without having to talk and talk and talk.

[@patriciafry8634]

I am sure one reason for the explanation is for the rest of the people in the room

[@ДмитрийКалашников-ъ7ы]

где продолжение?

[@ssnadera6498]

2:15 so thats why shes not looking at the doctor, i found it weird the first 2 minutes

[@phototristan]

Why was she not asked - do you feel like you're hearing right now?

[@Tyler-rn1di]

So can she hear or not? I'm overly confused

[@laurenmcguire2731]

She is deaf. But with a CI soon enough she will be able to fully hear and understand

[@bellababy2100]

+Walwalkn Wewnrkl She doesn't understand but at the same time she'll know a voice cuz its hearing something and it's something she's never "heard' b4. So from the looks of things, from this video. Doesn't seem like she can hear voices. All the other videos i saw they were able to hear voices n didn't need signing.. Idk i think this is an amazing thing helping ppl. And there's surgery to help blind ppl see too.Awesome!

[@36paris]

Of course she can hear the voices. But she doesn’t know what the words mean. The doctor explained all that. It’s like dropping an English speaking person in the middle of China. They can hear people speaking but they can’t understand what they are saying. Plus, a lot of deaf people don’t speak because they can’t hear the sounds they are making. She will need to learn how to speak and understand spoken words.

[@pedrowalter]

God she talks too much

[@ceuti]

Lol woman who works with deaf people doesn't know sign language herself..

[@cr4fun825]

yeah because after you worked with her, you not gonna need it anymore ;)

[@DustinYDU]

you'd think it'd be a job requirement. When deaf people hear for the first time, they don't know audio english. They'll need the sign language (or lip reading) along with the sounds for their brain to learn it.

[@ceuti]

thank you^^

[@ceuti]

didn't feel like explaining it to the bloke

[@cr4fun825]

She probably en engineer.. Still a little ignorrant i guess... makes kinda sense that the brain needs to adjust to new infos

[@Dethilion]

update ?

[@jensleck547]

have they make progress🤗

[@jayempii1590]

So she could hear the lady but she didn't understand a word what she was saying? There was a lot of stuff to learn for this girl back in 2013, I hope she can deal with it a lot better today.

[@MrKelly-xv6ot]

Great audiologist

[@tremorist]

Too many people in that room.

[@gcraiders87]

what the heck is she looking at

[@baneless3810]

She is looking at the guy signing to her

[@ohmycal]

Most likely her father

[@Apate9842]

nope just an interpreter

[@TemenosL]

Didn't even watch the full video evidently.

[@johnquick4880]

What would you like to be the first sound you ever heard. Her, or beethoven first sym. Because these slimebags have seem to of taken it away.

[@TemenosL]

You don't seem to understand how it works. You don't magically start hearing stuff. Your brain literally doesn't know how to process any sound properly at first. It needs a period of adjustment. So actually, beethoven would probably sound like nightmare fuel if it was played right off the bat.

[@3stax170]

Temenos Lykourgos I think you are totally right!! The wrong frequencies will make the best sounds horrible & vise versa!!! Sadly people who could already hear the lady talking don’t know how to listen!!

[@matthewdavies2057]

German American girl couldn't care less.

[@nicaragua9125]

She seems pretty apathetic about the whole thing.

[@freddyfredrickson]

That's what I was thinking at first. However I assume she is simply overwhelmed by the new sensory input and the abundance of people and cameras pointing at her. I suspect she would seem less nonchalant if the room had fewer people and less cameras.

[@TemenosL]

Not everyone is a bubbly extrovert, period. She does not look apathetic but focused. She's sitting there staring awkwardly at an interpreter the whole time while a crowd is laser focused on her which may also play a part.

[@MajorSnugglesworth]

Mom needs to get it the fuck together here

[@LizKS48]

Taylor is such a beautiful girl! Is she able to hear better now and distinguish different sounds? This is such an amazing technology that can actually give one the ability to hear. I'm very happy she has had this opportunity as have so many like her. :)

[@ExcusesRNS]

Shout out to the grandma in the background with that green dyed hair

[@juicymango8905]

i think its a bandana

[@mistaspot1]

She's likely a chemo patient whose hair fell out.

[@gforce4all]

LOL!! that's what I thought but it's a bandanna.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

was the whole extended family there to attend, record and post the chemo appointments, too?

[@jbbevan]

In 1980 I saw a demonstration of the first cochlear implant experiments from the University of Utah which had an artificial organs department under the direction of Dr. Pim Kolff (a professor from the Netherlands). They hooked up a profoundly deaf (since birth) man with a cochlear implant to six large main-frame computer cabinets and demonstrated his auditory understanding for a half hour. After it was over they said that the real challenge at that time was to miniaturize the electronics to make it practical for actual patients. All processing back then was using 64K RAM...lots of it...but nevertheless that was the state of the art. So what Taylor received in this video was the dream of those scientists over 40 years ago.

[@johnm725]

Great comment mate, thanks

[@itsjustme9751]

How is it that a hearing therapist needs someone to help with sign language? Why wouldn't she be required to know it?

[@TheNomadicview]

I wondered the same thing.

[@chrisreinholdt3061]

She doesn't speak English really because she has never heard the words. However, she knows ASL, American Sign Language, and is relying on that. Just because you can hear a language does not mean that you can necessarily understand it.

[@itsjustme9751]

Chris Reinholdt You didn't understand my comment. I wasn't talking about Taylor (the patient). What I said was about the therapist (the one testing her, who you can clearly see from the video speaks perfect english).

[@blueturtle3623]

You'd think that, wouldn't you? Audiologists don't even have ASL 1 in their curriculum.

[@kiranranjitkar2748]

Great but Imperfect Video. WHERE are the Remaining Parts ?

[@oscarmayer5530]

If you want to work with deaf people, learn how to sign.

[@herdsire90210]

Fascinating.

[@gforce4all]

I would imagine that everyone sounds like Charlie Browns teacher to her.She will have to be taught words by identifying them with signs.

[@reneepainter5359]

gforce4all she won’t identify with sign, she will learn with sounds, my daughter is deaf with cochlears and it’s all about audio, she is 11 years post opp and people that meet her cannot tell she was ever deaf and couldn’t talk
