Grayson Clamp, adopted at birth, was born without the nerves to hear.  After years of searching for an answer, at the age of 3, Grayson received an implant in his brain to replace the nerves his lacks.  The processor listens to sound, breaks it down and sends the information to his implanted device which allows Grayson to hear.  The following video from UNC Health Care explains the process of the experimental device and shows the breathtaking moment when Grayson hears the sound of his Dad’s voice for the first time.  “It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen,” Len Clamp, Grayson’s Father, said. “He’s got a long way to go, but he’s going to get there.”
