Song for Jo

You may have seen or heard of Joanne Milne, the woman with Usher Syndrome Type 1 who heard for the first time when her cochlear implants were turned on last week.

Here is the video of that moment in case you missed it.

Happily, she is staying in the news and is making use of this sustained public attention to raise awareness about Usher Syndrome in conjunction with Sense. Part of this campaign is for the public to suggest a playlist of songs that she could listen to now that she has that capability.

Here is an article covering that side of the campaign.

Imagine listening to music for the first time in your life! She has a lot of catching up to do.

Use the twitter hashtag #songforjo if you have any suggestions.

More on Saturday!
