Hayward Duresseau, 37, was on a family trip to San Francisco when he became extremely tired and lost his ability to see, hear, or even walk. Showing symptoms of undetected bacterial meningitis, Hayward was rushed to the hospital by boyfriend Kerry Kennedy, 27, where he had to stay for the next three weeks. He eventually got his sight back and was able to walk again after three months. But the damage to his hearing was said to be permanent – and Hayward struggled to come to terms with the idea of never hearing his partner’s voice again. Thankfully though, six months later, a Cochlear implant – an electronic device that restores function to the inner ear – was fitted, allowing him to hear again.

感動話なんだけど、登場人物が男性同士ということで、話が若干スムーズに入ってこないのは私の頭が時代についていってないからなのでしょうか。
