In the early 60's (maybe '61?) Life Magazine published a famous photo of a boy hearing for the first time. The look of joy and astonishment on his face is unbelievable.
My roomate and I are at loggerheads. She says he's hearing for the first time due to a new hearing aid. I say that yes, he was wearing a hearing aid, but the ability to hear is due to a cochlear implant.
Can anyone recall the photographer? The issue of Life? (Most importantly) Whether I'm right? I've tried googling this, to no avail.
