About this episode
Jo Milne was born profoundly deaf, and undertook risky surgery to allow her to hear for the first time, after discovering she was losing her sight because she wanted to avoid being without two senses for the rest of her life. A video of Jo being 'switched on' for the first time has been watched by nearly 9 million people across the world. She met Sam Walker earlier today to discuss how her life has changed since she was able to hear.
