Brilliant wasn't it.

 

I actually cried for her.

 

Same here, it was amazing.

I heard this on Radio 2 yesterday. I was surprised to hear that this operation first started in the 80's. I thought it was something new, due to the attention it was getting.

Just wondering how she understands the meaning of a spoken word if shes never heard them before.

It was quite an amazing thing to watch. I get that she learnt to speak even though she was deaf all her life but she had a Geordie accent too!

The headlines are misleading.

 

She had been able to hear (still with severe limitations) using hearing aids.

What a con.

 

I saw a programme about a blind guy that had been successful all his life as a woodworker, he had an operation to allow him to see and he was so depressed about how dirty everything was and how much traffic there was that he died only a year or so later.
