Curse of Silence: Interesting video from TedMed
http://ilsordo.blogspot.com/2011/12/interesting-video-from-medted.html
Interesting video from TedMed. Http:/ www.ted.com/. Equal for hearing loss (as good a CI can be for some, not all). Music is a wonderful subject, thank you! And yes, we wish we could hear it still. Its a major loss for mega-millions of us with acquired hearing loss, with hearing aids or implants or not. We are curious about your view of allowing us to use the software at home to adjust our has and implants too one day? An experiment on this might be beautiful to try. Thanx for your comment! I understand ...

Six months with Number 2 [with results]. Now its six months since number two was implanted and coming up to two years for number one. Maybe I should give them names but they cant be names which means this one is better than that one, must be equal. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). John's Carcinoma Diary (back online!

Curse of Silence: 5 years gone
http://ilsordo.blogspot.com/2013/08/5-years-gone.html
Five years since that fateful day in 2008. It seems like a long time ago. Like I've always had these devices on the back of my head. But I still forget them too. Maybe it's familiarity breeding contempt for them hmmm. But so much has happened. VegPatch, worm farm. Subaru gone, the Bluebird has come. What will happen in the next five years?

Today is the day I went deaf 3 years ago. Here's a link to the original letter. That seems like a long time ago. I can't say that it seems like forever because I can remember in some past life that I could hear. Hear music. Understand what people said. And understand what they were saying. Thanx for the devices which have made such a difference - I remember the helpless part where there was just nothing. Going, iPhone/iPad (well you might not think so), Washhouse. The clients who stood by me. Laurie's Da...

Featured in a Publication, Me! The Chris O'Brien Lifehouse at RPA. That big new building on Missenden Rd] have an article with me in their Winter Update! I wrote it actually - "Be positive and write about it". Of course the magazine is about fund-raising and raising awareness for those 1000s of people who pass thru the RPA facilities every year. Too many. Some make it, some don't. Thats just the way it is. I'm one of the lucky ones. Link - http:/ www.lifehouserpa.org.au/. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Curse of Silence: Make Contact directly
http://ilsordo.blogspot.com/2008/11/polls-are-open-until-14-november-6pm.html
The deadline has come and gone and here are the results, put through the Acme magnifying glass. It was nice to see that the most popular entry was "I'm subscribed and hanging on every post". I hope that wasn't just the donkeys voting. Also the vast majority of respondents were positive - negatives aren't going to vote, let alone read the blog. Boo, hiss on those negatives. Even so, THANK YOU to all the respondents! Results of the Access Poll as of 6pm 14 November. Of the entries received there were.

A few milestones coming up. June 10 [or 13* ] it'll be 11 years since I finished cancer treatment. That seems like sooooo long ago. July 31 is the day I woke up deaf, this year is the fifth anniversary. Of course this led to being fitted with these devices and amazingly entitled me to the title "cyborg" [Thanx Michael Chorost! On the one hand it seems like only yesterday, but on the other, I've been using them forever, seems so natural. Check out the books - very interesting. Postscript - It was.

Why bother with captions? There is a wealth of movies available from the so-called talkies era. The fundamentals of movie production were established well before Al Jolson came along. Names such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Fritz Lang are true pioneers of the entertainment we now take virtually for granted. The festival is on in Sydney in September, gone for this year but still available in other cities. Keep it in mind for 2012! Http:/ www.ozsilentfilmfestival.com.au/.
