Fall Restores Voice Hearing After 61 Years
A Seattle depot worker named Berger, deaf and speechless since scarlet fever at age three, regained his speech and hearing after a fall.

Berger, once mute, had communicated by sign and using pad and pencil since moving to Seattle from Texas two decades ago.
