I hope all of you will take the time and look at the site and see the process of getting one.

I'm about to get my second implant in about 12 days. It's pretty cool but also scary at the same time.

I know what the steps are involved with this one since this is the 2nd round.

The most scary part is when you walk to the operating room. A nurse will walk with you carrying your IV fluid. And as you walk in, you see these happy people saying Hi with a positive attitude! How would you feel?

Think about it.

Mine for example is Sensorneural Hearing Loss. Which is damage in my inner ear which is my cochlea.

My hearing loss involved an reduction in the sound levels, which is like faint sounds as whisper, soft noises. It also affects my speech understanding and discrimination. Also the clarity of the sounds and voices.

This is one of the reasons of getting an cochlear implant to help me regain some of those. Its a long hurl but it will take a few years to become successful. Ive only had this on for 6 months and am very pleased with my progress so far. Never imagined that I would hear silly sounds that hearing people tend to ignore. I am amazed on how the gentle wind can sound so pretty.

I got approved to get my other ear done just a few days after the last class. My surgery date is scheduled for May 18th. Which I am pretty excited about. Ill be able to hear 'stereo' in June! Just in time for my friend/coworker's wedding!
