Joanne Milne from Gateshead was born with the rare condition Usher Syndrome, which left her deaf from birth. The 40-year-old also lost her vision to the condition in her 20s.
The 40-year-old also lost her vision to the condition in her 20s. Last month Ms Milne underwent a life-changing operation to have cochlear implants fitted. She faced an anxious month-long wait to see if the operation had been a success. As her doctor recited the days of the week to her, the 40-year-old is visibly overwhelmed, fighting back the tears and gasping for breath. She said: 'Wow, it is amazing,' as she listened to her voice and the voices of her doctor and friend for the first time. She said the switch on was the 'most emotional and overwhelming' experience of her life.
