Ears to Hear

Synopsis: Looks at the work being done in Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children and at the Montreal Oral School for the Deaf. Shows how hearing-impaired children are now learning to speak by ‘listening’ to the sounds of normal speech. The method requires powerfully sensitive hearing aids that pick up residual sound, demands early treatment, and relies heavily on the support of both teachers and parents.
