Deaf girl hears "Jingle Bells" for first time

[Inkara1]

Here's a story about a deaf girl who had cochlear implants and got to hear "Jingle Bells" for the first time.

I don't know why, but for some reason, I find this line to be rather funny:

"It is so nice to hear music, especially Christmas carols," she said. "I have asked mum and dad for an iPod so I can listen to the Black Eyed Peas."

Interesting. Rush says his cognitive abilities help him recognize old favorites but he can't decipher new stuff.
