____________________________
Dear Nucleus Recipients and Family,
The 2007 Cochlear™ Celebration in San Antonio was a most moving experience for Margaret and me. It was heartwarming and encouraging to learn first-hand what a difference the implant has made in the lives of so
many. We feel part of a large family all looking after each other. It has been a wonderful team effort between scientists, clinicians and the key partner, Cochlear.
We hope that the occasion will have inspired many to go back home to let others know what this can do for their lives. Many do not realize the difficulties experienced by someone with a severe hearing loss. Once again, our thanks for your hospitality and the generous and warm welcome.
Kind regards, Graeme Clark
Professor Graeme Clark made the cochlear implant a reality by drawing from his own personal experiences. His story is one of true dedication and inspiration.
