South Carolina doctors restore hearing for young Ukraine war refugee.
Two-year-old Zlata Kuzmina, a refugee from Ukraine, was feared to be completely deaf when she arrived in South Carolina with her family. However, hearing specialist Dr. Teddy McRackan and his team at the Medical University of South Carolina were able to surgically place a cochlear implant in her ear, giving her the gift of sound. While the device doesn't cure her deafness, Zlata can now hear with the implant attached to her head.
