From Silence to Sound

In the United States, more than 20 million people are either deaf or hard-of-hearing. Justin Garrett’s parents discovered that their son was profoundly deaf at age 2. With that diagnosis, their idealistic dreams for him shattered. Not long after that, so did their family.

As a young adult, Justin’s audiologists recommended a cochlear implant. If the surgery went well, it would enable him to hear. An unsuccessful surgery, however, would mean a lifetime of irreversible deafness.

In a miraculous turn of events, Justin was then approved for a bilateral (double) cochlear implant – the first time in history a man would undergo such a procedure in Oklahoma. 

On March 13, 2006, this state-of-the-art surgery changed his life forever. Join him on this incredible journey as Justin seeks – and finds – a new life in the hearing world.
