UK’s Youngest baby with ear implants

Evie Smith, 3 months and three days, has become the youngest in the UK to have cochlear implants.

Evie Smith had the first device implanted in her right ear, and then the second one seven weeks later.

He is now aged six months – and returned to St Thomas’ NHS Hospital in London last week to have the devices activated.

Evie became profoundly deaf after contracting pneumococcal meningitis when she was just three days old.
