Seven-year-old Leia Armitage lived in total silence for the first two years of her life, but thanks to pioneering brain surgery and years of therapy she has found her voice and can finally tell her parents she loves them.
"We were told you could put a bomb behind her and she wouldn't hear it at all if it went off," said Leia's father, Bob, as he recalled finding out their baby daughter had a rare form of profound deafness.
This is a truly extraordinary story and one I am sure you will find of great interest on numerous levels.
All the best,

This story is truly amazing on so many levels. The outcome is unbelievable. I found this to be very emotional read, the thought of saying "I love you to bella and Samuel and them not hearing it or being able to say it back is heart breaking. So happy for these parents and the little girl.
