Before the ear surgery you made possible, before the examinations and consultations, before the implant was placed in his left ear, Giorgi lived under a dome of silence. He strained painfully to hear with his right ear and still could not make out what teachers and classmates were saying. He narrowly avoided being hit on the road when terrified drivers honked at him. To call Giorgi, his mother and sister had to come up and touch him. You put an end to that silent movie. You truly “turned on” the world for one little person.
