Deaf nurse born with no ears hears for the first time after pioneering surgery to build organs from rib cartilage
July 11, 2014 20:17
A woman born with no ears has heard the sound of her voice for the first time – after having them rebuilt and fitted with a hi-tech hearing aid, The Daily Mail reported.
Sally Evans, of Gosport, Hampshire, was born with microtia, a congenital deformity which resulted in her right ear being a flap of skin and the left sealing over completely.
But the 35-year-old has undergone pioneering work to have a special hearing aid fitted.
The Bone Anchored Hearing Aid works by detecting sound and sending vibrations down a screw embedded in the bone – straight to the hearing nerve, bypassing the ear canal.
In a second procedure, parts of her own rib cartilage were removed and reshaped to sculpt new prosthetic ears.
