A 3-year-old who suffered from severe hearing loss can now experience a new world of sounds after having a cochlear implant surgery at the Advocate Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn.
Abby Evans was diagnosed with severe to profound hearing loss in both ears earlier this year.
She received her first cochlear implant in her left ear on July 7. The implant was activated on July 25. Abby started to hear sounds for the first time. But as soon as she heard the song "Let It Go" playing from Frozen, Abby couldn’t stop smiling. However, at the age of two, she began showing signs of a speech delay. Maureen also had a mother’s intuition that something was just not right.
This time, the test revealed that she had moderately severe hearing loss in both ears, which was a change from her previous screening.
