The rains falling on the earth; the waves of the ocean hitting the shores; a little baby playing gleefully in its mother’s arms! These are images that make us forget all our sorrows and worries of the world.

However, have we ever imagined seeing this pristine beauty without the sound that it makes? These very things seem so much incomplete without the accompanying sound of the rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, the sound of the outer ocean on a beach, the sound of the baby giggling at its mother.

Blindness separates us from things; Deafness separates us from people.

There are so many unfortunate among us who cannot hear these beautiful sounds and are separated from us due to this handicap, because of a severe damage to their cochlear nerves.
