Cochlear Implant International Community of Action Launches
Celebrating International Cochlear Implant Day with Tanya Saunders and her daughter Onna’s hearing journey.

Tanya Saunders is Mum to Onna, who has severe-profound hearing loss with ANSD and wears bilateral cochlear implants. She is one of our Parent Ambassador having become a strong supporter after going through the programme with her daughter and seeing the impressive results for herself. This journey with her daughter has inspired her to start writing books for deaf children who are learning to listen and speak; to date, she has published two books and has many more waiting in the wings.
David's story

Without the fantastic support we had from AVUK I am not sure how David would have developed and thrived the way he did. He has big dreams and aspirations and we know that sky is the limit for him.
Rafi's Story

Rafi’s hearing journey has been a long one but with AVUK it has been an amazing one. We could not be more proud of the progress he has made and we want to say thank you to everyone at AVUK who believed in Rafi from day one. This is Rafi’s story from his parents Antoine and Kenza who are originally from France
