Salt Lake City, UT – Cochlear implants have been available for children since 1985. They are small electronic devices that can help those who are deaf to hear.

But until recently, cochlear implants were considered experimental and insurance companies wouldn't cover them. One Utah family has led the battle to get that coverage in Utah.
