CI and more in the news

This roundup contains a great story about a hearing dog averting a potiential fire caused by a cat trapped against a heat lamp.

This detailed story follows a boy deafened by spinal meningitis and plays basketball without his cochlear implant.  I dont really agree with the parents because I prefer total communication (sign and speech)  This is more important than making sure a kid doesn't rely on sign language.

A brief excerpt of  Travis' story that appears in March's Good Housekeeping magazine.  Travis received his implant as a baby.
