This interview of a father with a son who has a cochlear implant is posted on the website of a company that makes hearing assistance devices. It is one of many brief stories (300-700 words) about deafness and hearing assistance devices on the website. In this one, the father was asked about his tattoo of a cochlear implant on his head and said that this was a way to connect with his son. This interview shows that many people with hearing loss can feel isolated from the rest of the world. Hearing people can gain understanding of the emotional benefits of cochlear implants.
