VIDEO: Deaf granny hears granddaughter laugh for the first time after cochlear implant is turned on. The "Today" show cameras catch the moment Sarah Campbell, 57, first hears her granddaughter's giggle.



The Pennsylvania woman has had hearing problems since childhood, and went completely deaf around five years ago. This is the tender moment a granny heard her baby granddaughter laugh for the very first time after doctors turned on her cochlear implant. Sarah Campbell, 57, had suffered hearing problems since childhood and went completely deaf around five years ago.



But, as the “Today” show cameras rolled on Tuesday morning, the nation watched as she heard the her tiny 1-year-old relative giggle with excitement. "I'm hearing her! Woo! Baby! She was laughing, I think," she told audiologist Michelle Montes as host Matt Lauer stood by.



The Norristown, Pennsylvania, native struggled to work and interact with people and constantly needed new and updated hearing aids.

Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania inserted the implant a receiver and stimulator placed on her inner ear bones to act as a microphone three weeks ago. Read more at http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/deaf-granny-hears-granddaughter-time-article-1.1407507#ixzz2a0ClynBf

B.C.'s Bree Sproule Off To Deaf Olympics With Team Canada

British Columbia's Bree Sproule off to Deaf Olympics with Team Canada.



OYAMA - For most of her young life, volleyball player Bree Sproule has been a rarity in the small community of Oyama, British Columbia.



She's the only deaf person in Oyama, the northern-most point of Lake Country. She was the only deaf player on her school and club volleyball teams and the only deaf kid of six siblings, born and raised in Oyama.



But over the past year Sproule, 19, has been hanging with people much like her. She has completed her first year at Gaulladet University in Washington, DC, the world's only university specifically for Deaf people where she was a member of the women's volleyball team.



And last week she departed with 10 other Deaf volleyball players as part of Team Canada that will take part in the 22nd Deaflympics in Sofia, Bulgaria. Close to 4,000 Deaf people from 84 countries will be competing.



"It's really exciting, I've never been to Europe before," said Sproule through her interpreter, her sister Brooke. "It's going to be a new experience for me. I'm really excited to see the different culture and to learn about the history. It's going to be really fun to be with the team because we are all going to be together and there is going to be a lot of Deaf people there."

Deaf Woman Survivor Southwest Airlines Crashed

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf Southwest Airlines passenger recounts ordeal. Southwest flight reveals terror on the tarmac as nose landing gear suddenly collapses and plane with 150 people comes to a fiery skidding halt.



NEW YORK - Boeing 737-700 was bound for New York from Nashville, Tennessee. Southwest Airlines Flight 345 carried 144 passengers and six crew members - New Yorker Aidan Mack, who is deaf - one of the passengers. NTSB looking into cause of Southwest landing gear collapse.



Aidan Mack captured a similarly terrifying scene from her seat aboard the plane, filled with 144 passengers and six crews members. Her video shows some passengers beginning to panic after they were shaken by the hard jolt with no warning.



Ms Mack's story is even more incredible because she is deaf. She struggled to understand what was happening and fought panic - because she was unable to hear any of the announcements in the cabin.

'For me, it was just frantically trying to figure out the situation by watching the body language and the expressions of my fellow passengers, but I was really quite unique in that situation and all alone,' she told the TV station through sign language.



Ms Mack's video footage shows some panicked passengers stand and scream after the crash-landing. Most, though, remained calm. Read more at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2374338/Southwest-Flight-345-Boeing-737-crash-lands-LaGuardia-nose-landing-gear-collapses.html
