Full transcript

1. 0:08Sira is now communicating with her
2. 0:10mother, even if it's just in baby talk.
3. 0:13Look.
4. 0:16She looks at her because Sira, who was
5. 0:18born deaf, can now hear her. Our
6. 0:21cameras recorded the moment the little
7. 0:23girl heard for the first time in her 8
8. 0:25months of life.
9. 0:26Hello, girl. Now, yes. We don't know,
10. 0:33do we?
11. 0:33Hello, girl.
12. 0:35Oh,
13. 0:35yes, the second time.
14. 0:38Let's see, once again.
15. 0:44It was at the University of Navarra
16. 0:46Clinic, surrounded by the specialists
17. 0:48who had placed a cochlear implant in
18. 0:50each ear.
19. 0:52It was very moving, honestly. Well, we
20. 0:54didn't notice it at the time because
21. 0:56there were so many of us and we didn't
22. 0:59know what would happen either, and the
23. 1:00doctor had already warned us that
24. 1:01sometimes they react, sometimes they
25. 1:02don't. And when we watched it again on
26. 1:06video, that's when we really realized
27. 1:07she had turned around a couple of times
28. 1:09.
29. 1:10Two cochlear implants, one in each ear,
30. 1:13gifted sound to the little one.
31. 1:16Look, it's hard, it's hard, it's a
32. 1:18tough decision, especially when some
33. 1:20people tell you to wait and others tell
34. 1:22you not to. So, it puts parents in a
35. 1:26bit of a difficult situation when you
36. 1:28really know that the best option is
37. 1:30this, so we operated on her in July.
38. 1:35Why wait if, in the end, it has to be
39. 1:36done anyway? And it's proven that the
40. 1:40results for children are much better if
41. 1:42operated on before the age of one.
42. 1:49It would be good if all hospitals in
43. 1:51Spain could operate as soon as possible
44. 1:52. Like at the University of Navarra
45. 1:55Clinic, like here, and we operated on
46. 1:59her at 7 months. The results are
47. 2:01brilliant. Yes, yes. And of the two, no
48. 2:04, only one. And she seems much sharper,
49. 2:07she's starting to respond to some
50. 2:09sounds and she babbles much more, much
51. 2:12more. But now it's extreme when she has
52. 2:14them on. I mean, you can't hear the TV,
53. 2:17you can't do anything on the street
54. 2:18because she's calling everyone.
55. 2:23Like a normal child, in the end. I mean
56. 2:25, we are very happy, truly, very much
57. 2:28so.
58. 2:30If there weren't, if there weren't
59. 2:31cochlear implants, what would we do?
60. 2:34What happened? What weighed? Such
61. 2:38strange things come like that now, huh?
62. 2:41No.
