Makenna's Magic Ear

A new book about cochlear implants tells the story of a young girl from the time that her hearing loss was discovered as a baby to the time she went through implant surgery. Makenna's Magic Ear explains what the implant is and how it works from a kid's perspective. It's written by speech-language pathologist Ellen Waters from Illinois who says Makenna was a real person, one of her clients. Find out more here.
