For people who live with a physical impairment from birth, or for a long time, life feels as normal as it does for anyone else. They simply live using whatever resources are at their disposal. Until something changes and they rediscover the world.
That’s what happened to Sheri Collins only a couple of weeks ago. She had a cochlear implant -- a small electronic device placed beyond the damaged portions of the ear that directly stimulates the auditory nerve.
Sherri is 42 years old; she is the executive director of the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. She was born deaf and I had the priviledge to interview her. This is her testimony.
