Speech and language therapists at the world-renowned John Tracy Clinic in California have given little Calum Geary intensive post-operative treatment for the last month and with great success.
Electronic implants were inserted in Calum’s brain and then attached to a box in his ear designed to pick up sounds. He was the first Irish child to undergo the operation which took place at Manchester University Hospital in May.
