<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em>Joseph was born profoundly deaf. He was fitted with hearing aids from 8 weeks old. But as he got older we realised that he just was not getting enough from the hearing aids. We had to make the difficult descision in going for an operation and Joseph having a cochlear implant fitted. It has been 18 months since Joseph first implant and last Nov he went for his second implant as he was getting so much from it. With the success of the implants Joseph is doing very well in main stream school he is a happy and confident little boy thanks to cochlear implants. So please dig deep and donate now, and A BIG THANK YOU FROM JOSEPH and HIS FAMILY.</em></span></p>
