Ten-month-old Charlie Sinclair, born with Usher syndrome, experienced hearing for the first time after receiving cochlear implants. This transformative moment brought joy to her family, especially for her father, Tyler Sinclair, who noted the emotional impact. The implants enable Charlie to experience sounds and stimulate cognitive development. Her parents are committed to maximizing her sensory experiences before potential vision loss occurs. They are also raising funds for her continued development, indicating a supportive network around her progress and needs as she grows.
Oh man it was almost like a weight was lifted off my heart, not my shoulders," dad Tyler Sinclair said.
To know she can hear and understand the sounds like birds chirping and being able to experience that.
For Charlie, she was really deprived of the hearing sense. She wasn't getting any sensation of sound," Dr. Chari said.
It's particularly important for someone like Charlie because when she loses her vision in the future.
