Working in a tattoo parlor can be a lot like working as a bartender or a hair stylist. When people are in that chair, they tend to open up about their lives. Sometimes it's to vent frustrations, but sometimes it's to share amazing stories of modern miracles. That was Sarah Churman's story on "NY Ink" (Thu., 9 p.m. EST on TLC).
Simply by happenstance, her husband heard about the Esteem hearing implant, a surgery that would implant what she described as "an inner ear prosthesis" and restore hearing. So they talked about it, and then his widowed mother decided that she wanted to cash out her savings to pay for Sarah to get the surgery.
While it may be the obvious answer, Sarah said the sound of her daughters' voices is her favorite sound in this new hearing world she finds herself in. The independence of not needing her husband as an interpreter has given her self-confidence a boost as well.
Maybe just as a chance hearing on the radio led to Sarah getting this life-changing surgery, maybe others will see this show and seek it out as well so they can soon be talking about what their most cherished sounds are.
