This blog was created with the intention of keeping my family and friends up-to-date about my sudden onset hearing loss, cochlear implant surgery and progress after activation. Since so much is going on, I figured it is easiest to just document my experiences in a place where everyone can read them on a regular basis. I truly hope that those who visit this site will get something out of it... ENJOY! :o)

This is what sounds "look" like with a cochlear implant!
"With the cochlear implant, sounds are different from what they were with hearing aids. Hearing with hearing aids is somewhat passive, the sounds are amplified and you hear them. Hearing with a cochlear implant is active, you must learn to hear with the implant." (Denise M. Jansen, "Day to Day With My Cochlear Implant" Audiology Online, October 21, 2002)
