Sarah Churman, 29, was born with hearing loss, Until recently, she had never heard the sound of her own voice. But thanks to a hearing (cochlear) implant, Churman was able to experience a miracle.

My hearing loss was/is considered severe to profound. I've worked very hard to be able to interact and blend in." Sarah Churman said.
