#131: Breaking Through the Silence with Cochlear Implants: The Story of Angela Irwin


Listen Later

A woman who slowly lost her hearing over 15 years, to the point where she is now clinically deaf, tells her story of how she's adapted and overcome, including her decision to get a Cochlear implant. 

This woman, Angela Irwin is an advocate for the deaf community and a Cochlear Implant recipient. She is originally from a small farm town in South Dakota, but has lived in France with her husband for over the past 10 years. Angela has been featured in various publications and media outlets, sharing her story of loss, hope, and triumph. One such appearance is Angela's incredible TEDx Talk.

Angela Irwin was born with normal hearing, but gradually lost her hearing over the course of 15 years. It's only through the power of technology that Angela can hear the world around her. This technology is a Cochlear Implant.

Today through Angela's own foundation she works tirelessly to do her part in helping others around the world to have access to this same life-changing technology.
