Kris Martin, a NASCAR driver who hears with a cochlear implant, recently spoke with ACI Alliance Executive Director Donna Sorkin about his experience as a deaf racecar driver, how he helped his classmates and teachers in school understand his hearing technology, and what he tells children now about following their dreams. We hope as many people as possible can watch and share this video of Kris’ powerful message.
