The Ear Foundation Celebrates Its 20th Birthday With A Party, UK
Nottingham-based charity, The Ear Foundation, celebrates its 20 birthday with a party on Sunday 1 March, 2009. The first multi-channel implants for children in the UK were funded by The Ear Foundation and carried out here in Nottingham in 1989, with a great deal of support from the local community. From that early beginning, the majority of profoundly deaf children in the UK now have cochlear implants and are able to hear.
