http://cdm85.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A blog about my deafness, journey with cochlear implants, meningitis, my ongoing life. Sunday, November 2, 2014. Right ear is activated! Starting with the left ear first! Ready to get the right one going. Whoa that sounds weird. Done, and done! Mom and I hit the road to head back home! All the parts and pieces in a box. Marked, so I know this headpiece has 2 magnets (for the right side). Wind sounds like whistling, even my own breathing sounds like whistling. Ahh, annoying! Links to this post. I was born...

A blog about my deafness, journey with cochlear implants, meningitis, my ongoing life. Friday, January 23, 2015. Tinnitus update; college. But I know that is something I will probably be living with for the rest of my life, and getting the implant didn't help with that. But I am most definitely happy the new sounds are gone. I can deal with the old usual sounds that I've had for . well. forever. But the new sounds, not so much. New semester has started at the college this week and so far so good! I was b...

A blog about my deafness, journey with cochlear implants, meningitis, my ongoing life. Monday, April 28, 2014. Been a busy few days! By the time I got to work after WYHI, I was tired, and worn out when I got home.

I look so I can hear…. Living with a hearing loss in London, UK. Do you feel as I do, an ‘In-Between’, i.e. neither hearing nor deaf? Is your social life curtailed because you can’t sign or your friends can’t, your friends are hearing so don’t understand your communication needs, lip reading is difficult, most social places are too noisy or dark? If you hear of new groups in the UK, please let me know so I can add to this list.). Sign up for weekly emails of deaf events. Deaf and HOH Club. Click to print...

https://funnyoldlife.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/lipreading-the-dregs-of-history
I look so I can hear…. Living with a hearing loss in London, UK. Lipreading the dregs of history. It is with great disappointment that we have seen a video from the Royal Archives of the Queen and Queen Mother published in the newspapers with an attempted lipreading translation of the footage. Lipreading is not a reliable form of evidence in court and great care must be taken when using it. One of our lipreaders was involved in a quality check of the lipreading skills of Jessica Rees.
