Lecture 5: Brain Plasticity Gives Hope to Children
Release Date:
Professor Clark describes the realisation of his passionate desire to use the bionic ear to develop spoken language in children and the confrontation that this provoked with sections of the deaf community. He comments, 'It was ironical that I was now confronted by the very people whom I wanted to help hear. The criticisms affected all members of the team, and weighed heavily on us.'
