The University of Queensland in Australia is graduating Australia’s first ever auidologist with a cochlear implant this month. Bill Raymond was born with a severe hearing disability and received his cochlear implant at age 13. When Bill was born, his mother was told that Bill would probably never talk or attend school. Just prior to making the decision to get an implant, Bill met an 11-year-old hearing-impared girl with a cochlear implant that could talk on the phone. That did it for Bill, and he has never looked back.
