A
seventh-grader at Bedford Middle School recently raised $26,000 for
cochlear implant research during his bar mizvah celebration at Temple
Israel.
Matthew Reiser, having used a cochlear implant since
age four to offset profound hearing loss since birth, asked family and
friends to donate to the NYU Cochlear Implant Center instead of giving
gifts to him, according to a news release from his family.
