HEALTH

Keren and Yehuda Klein

A Little Miracle

Metro Detroit youngster is an ambassador for cochlear implants.

When Yehuda Klein of Oak Park goes to a playground or library, strangers often take a second glance. The unspoken (and sometimes spoken) question is: What are those things on the side of his head?

Many people have never seen cochlear implants before. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), as of December 2019, there are only about 736,900 implanted cochlear devices worldwide. In the United States, about 118,100 cochlear devices had been implanted in adults and only 65,000 in children. (The FDA only approved it for eligible children in 2000.)

In the Metro Detroit area, Yehuda Klein is among the few children with cochlear implants.

Yehuda’s hearing loss is not genetic. At 8 days old, Yehuda, now 7, developed a sudden life-threatening intestinal infection, and extremely strong antibiotics were administered. Hearing loss is a known unfortunate side effect of that vital medication.

By 8 weeks old, Yehuda was diagnosed with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD); sounds weren’t being transmitted from his inner ear to his brain.

“His hearing was like listening to a broken radio with lots of static,” his mother, Keren Klein, said.

Yehuda was referred to a specialist at Children’s

Hospital and was given a hearing aid trial at 4 months old.

By his first birthday, Yehuda was babbling and could speak 15-20 words, within the normal range.

Cautiously optimistic, Keren, a science teacher at Farber Hebrew Day School, and her husband, Yosef, a lawyer, took Yehuda for further testing. They were shocked to discover that Yehuda had only been lip reading, was not understanding context and was quickly falling behind. At that point, cochlear implants were recommended.

GETTING IMPLANTS

Cochlear implants have two parts: The first part is surgically implanted into the temporal bone. The second part is the processor, essentially a strong microphone that is magnetically attached to the first part from the outside of the head. Together, the pieces accept, decode and send electric signals directly to the auditory nerve in the brain.

There was no guarantee cochlear implants would correct Yehuda’s hearing loss … and if the surgery didn’t work, it could leave him completely and permanently deaf.

“It was an extremely difficult decision,” Keren said. “It’s literally brain surgery. We did tons of research and then finally decided to go ahead with just one ear. That way, if it were unsuccessful, at least Yehuda would still have some hearing in the other ear.”

Yehuda received his first implant at age 2. Within days of his processor being activated, he was engaged, responding to music and participating in conversation.

“It was clearly a huge success; it was as though everything had finally just clicked for Yehuda,” Keren said.

At age 4, Yehuda received his second implant, which was equally as successful. Every six months for his entire life, he needs to get “mapping” — a process that is like fine-tuning a
