So in 2003, I made the tough decision to have the cochlear implant.

所以在 2003 年，我做出了一个艰难的决定，去植入人造耳蜗。

For those who can't hear even with a device, they might have an operation to put in something called a cochlear implant.

对于那些即使使用设备也听不到声音的人，他们可能需要进行一项手术来植入一种称为人工耳蜗的植入物。

Now, this technology has the potential to be a game-changer, because the only other solution for deafness is a cochlear implant, and that requires an invasive surgery.

这项技术拥有改变游戏规则的潜力，因为唯一其他的帮助听障人士的方法 就是耳蜗植入，而那需要进行侵害性的手术。

We were just talking to Rebecca Knill, who has a cochlear implant.

我们刚刚采访了装有人工耳蜗的丽贝卡·尼尔 (Rebecca Knill)。
