The Washington Post blog explains:
Sloan Churman was born deaf. She had never heard the sound of her own voice until, at 29, she was given a hearing implant made by a company called Envoy Medical. Churman has posted the incredible video in which she hears herself speaking for the first time.

Awesome. Cool to see her giving the credit to God in her comments too:
"God provided the means to pay for the surgery ;)"
"My whole life I've been complimented on how well I speak. I don't really have an answer for you other than I have always had a passion for reading, grammar, and English. My hearing loss was/is considered severe to profound. I've worked very hard to be able to interact and blend in.....only thing I can say is 'God is good'."
Very cool...Thanks for posting. Reminiscent of something I posted a year or so ago: http://pcscrib.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-that-day-deaf-shall-hear.html
