Around 40,000 children are born in Armenia each year. Out of those, roughly 40 are born deaf. Thanks to a device called the cochlear implant, a simple surgery allows children to hear again. In Armenia, there is only one hospital where the cochlear implant surgery is performed, it’s in the Erebuni Medical Center.
