Surgery
Professor Macharia recommended that Louis undergo a surgery that would help him gain back his hearing. The former anchor was finally operated on in June, cochlear implant was placed on his damaged cochlear cells to help stimulate the hearing nerve.
The delicate surgery lasted for three long hours but he didn’t regain his hearing immediately. Louis was finally able to hear again four weeks after the delicate surgery.
