  abstract: Most people assume that it is children and young teenagers who are the beneficiaries of the cochlear implant in alleviating deafness. It is less well known that adults can also benefit from this life changing operation. This touching film explores the challenges and triumphs of two women. aged 36 and 44, who regained their hearing after undergoing this dramatic procedure. Janice Todd Wellington lost her hearing in early childhood and spent most of her life compensating for the almost complete loss of this critical sense. Melanie Broom, a married mother of two, is about to receive an implant. With only 30% hearing in one ear, she has been constantly struggling to live normally in this hearing society.This film enables the viewer to comprehend the world of the hearing- impaired. We watch as the operation is performed and rejoice as they regain their hearing. These two courageous women are enthralled with their new found skill, as they not only hear the voices of their loved ones, but also such everyday sounds as doors closing, birds singing, even the sound of a carrot being cut for a salad. Their days of isolation are over.
