http://silencetosoundblog.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
From Silence to Sound. Two cochlear implants after being profoundly deaf all my life . Friday, January 10, 2014. Happy New Year - candid assessment and slow progress at 8 months. Almost 8 months of being a cyborg. This is a wild ride! I am still getting used to this crazy mechanical hearing. Some days are frustrating; other moments are encouraging. After 48 years with almost no sound, my brain is basically learning the 5th sense of hearing from scratch. The dog's toenails or metal tags are clicking.

From Silence to Sound. Two cochlear implants after being profoundly deaf all my life . Friday, May 16, 2014. One year since activation! It does get better. Tomorrow marks one year since my cochlear implant activation. Today was a good day. I heard and recognized several new things for the first time, including my own name. My cochlear implant hearing is now creeping toward becoming 'familiar' like my trusty hearing aid was. Fine-tuning each mapping requires time, repeated appointments, and practice.
