Army Veteran Kevin McGovern couldn’t hear out of his left ear, even with hearing aids. It was interfering with his critical work supervising a 911 call center. Working with VA audiologists, McGovern underwent cochlear implant surgery. “I went back to work same day as the surgery. I had people come into my office to talk to me. It was amazing to be able to hear and understand their speech.”
