Jo Milne of the U.K. had Usher Syndrome and was deaf since birth. Then she got cochlear implants that were switched on after a month.

Milne is also able to listen to music for the first time. Her friend Tremayne Crossley, who posted this video to YouTube, put together an “Introduction to Music” playlist—including Prince, Bruce Springsteen, The Smiths, and Nirvana—which was played out for Milne on BBC6 Music earlier this week.
The first song she heard? John Lennon’s “Imagine.”
