M-TV Show Features Cochlear Implants

MTV's show True Life airing today at 1pm will feature a teen and college student who were born profoundly deaf and chose to have cochlear implant surgery. They have the devices installed and activated – all the while cameras are rolling. The award-winning documentary series showcases real-life stories of young people. The episode titled True Life: I'm Deaf was shot last winter. One student is a 22-year-old from Maryland attending college and the other is a teen from New Jersey.
