If it is the fist thing you hear in your life maybe ;)
btw nice story :) - Broncho24, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I like hearing something good for once around this time of the year. Thanks and dugg
- BrowserBabe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2As a someone who knows what it is like to have a hearing loss this story touched my heart. Short or not I think it is a great story for this holiday season. Happy Holidays Everyone! : )
- jadzor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"to bad she's gonna listen to black eyed peas... i mean seriously wtf"...shut the ***** up, she's 12.
That's fantastic news. I near brought a tear to my eye. - Heavy_C, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1My Mother might have to get cochlear implants. Hearing aids give you a very limited listening range. She can't even hear me speak sometimes because my voice is too deep. It's nice to know that she'll be able to enjoy music with me. Dugg!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Seriously, I hope the ipod mention wasnt the reason why this article made it to the front page. That would be to damn sick.
But anyways, I cant think of a better gift for this child than to have what we take for granted. Makes you understand how wonderful it is to have the ability to see and hear. - mikesum32, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I wonder if she can understand the words.
- The_Mule, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Now that's cool.
- Prod1gy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1the miracle of the holidays XD
- thisdude415, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Unfortunately, this isnt about tech, well, unless you consider the iPod meinton. (which is sad, btw.)
- Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1that made my day......
- charmedguy18, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1aww that's sweet. I am glad there is hope for deaf people yet.
- LeeVal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I have asked mum and dad for an iPod so I can listen to the Black Eyed Peas."

hehe - pgm_01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Cool story. I think she needs to listen to some Pink Floyd instead of Black Eyed Peas.
- thisdude415, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh, and Merry Christmas.
- toyotaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cochlear implants damage the ear even worse during surgery, and all those electrical zaps while in use damage the nerves even further. when will people realize this isn't the solution for deaf people? When something less damaging comes along, fine.. but this is barbaric sugery.
- republicoftexas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Alll you iPoders will need these implants when you all go deaf!
Totally, Creative kicks Ipod butt! - maong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0soooo can she listen to music as loudly as she wants to with her ipod??? its not like it will bother anyone (since no one else can hear it) and she cant hurt her sense of hearing with loud noises, since she isnt using her ear drums.... just curious
- Tracon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1great story but it would be better if we could end koolaidguy's internet connection
- Kakkun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hmmm it says there are 825 comments thats weird
awsome story and the Black Eyed Peas are awsome too - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Alll you iPoders will need these implants when you all go deaf!
- SillyRabbit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0lmao @ metacoola
awwwww this is magical...tis the season - crapiolio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0iPod will kill her hearing again.
- vermin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Black Eyed Peas? That's terrible...
- insomniacdude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I think you'd go to hell for not digging this. How can you not digg this? "No, screw little deaf girls and screw you, digg! The whole idea is just...ridiculous. With the hearing and the wires and the iPod and the digging. Screw that."
But seriously now, the ipod would technically be wired straight into her ear. That's far too creepy, even by my standards. - grayapple, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1:-) that is so ***** sweet
- AmZa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0She likes the black eyed peas? She must be deaf.
- JacobMarley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It has to be said. The RIAA sued her shortly there after for illegally listening to the song. . . *dodges RIAA bullets*
- uncle_dad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0That's because she now believes in Santa Clause
- statesidela, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Excellent...MERRY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE
- CheeseMan316, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I REALLY hope this is true. That is cool.
- Cyberdactyl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Koolaidkid just another punkass that's has the age old 'greater than thou' mentality because he found a minor exploit
- diggnationdevon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0aww
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Good news for christmas!
- RandomSkratch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@ SonicAD
"This is cool, but if she hasn't been able to hear, then how does she know that she'd like the music of the Black Eyed Peas?"
Yeah I was thinking the same thing... hmmm... - Quantic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hahah @uncle dad
- ronaldhennessy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If she got an iPod, wouldn't that make her hearing deteriorate again?
Oh, I forgot, the iPods sold in the UK (where this girl resides) limit how loud the sound can be, so that shouldn't harm her. - DF25863, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Technology can be an amazing thing. 25 years ago, I bet she would have never been able to hear. Dugg.
- cosmic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0its nice to hear something positive
- SonicAD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is cool, but if she hasn't been able to hear, then how does she know that she'd like the music of the Black Eyed Peas?
- sigginike90, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0to bad she's gonna listen to black eyed peas... i mean seriously wtf
- IpodCrazy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1She's able to hear and the first thing she asks for is an ipod. Haha.
- karch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0ahahaha... horrible, blinkcowz
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"...She then went on to sing the tune 'agggh aggh agggggggggggggh'."
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0That's pretty cool... gotta love being able to hear music... can't live without it.
Don't hate the Black Eyed Peas... there's worse music out there... like 50 Cent and all rap about "bitches"!
Good Xmas story =) - Po0py, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I closed the tab when she said she wanted to listen to the black eyed peas. Next, shell be shaking her ass in the air and singing my hump my hump my hump.
: - lazza, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"There is a wire which can go directly to the implants, so it will be like having her favourite music inside her head.""
ha. I want that for christmas, hate trying to get earphones to stay in. - kilodelta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0by the time she turns 20, she'll wish she never heard it in the first place.
- RMuffin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Good story, but a wire directly into the implants for an iPod.
$20 says she's deaf in a month.
Yea I'm going to hell.... - toveling, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I was right! All of the Black Eyed Peas' fans ARE deaf!
