I had my set up for my Cochlear Implant yesterday and my hearing right
now is amazing. Even the audiologists and the factory rep were amazed
with it's effect. Factory rep was there as it's the latest model and
the first one they've set up here in Nashville. Now, maybe, I'll be
able to hear when I lug the engine(GMC content) on these hills around
here without blowing the dang engine.

I did get to hear my grandson cry last night for the first time. It
was music to my ear. Sounds I haven't heard in years are coming
through. I even had lunch with Donna yesterday in the middle of the
setup as a test and was able to hold a conversation with her over loud
music without having to resort to reading her lips or asking for
repeats on what she said.

Truly a miracle as I haven't heard anything like this in 30 years. It
works and works well even though this is the first programming.

Roger,

Great news!

It must be inspiring to regain a lost-sense after that period of time.

"Sounds" amazing. Wish my dad would have done that. Would have saved me
lots of yelling and repeating myself over the phone. Unfortunately, out of
nowhere, he was diagnosed with advanced acute leukemia the day before
yesterday. He had only been hospitalized for two days (dehydration from a
flue) since 1934 when he had is appendix removed!

Will be traveling to Florida soon. My brother was in Georgia at the time on
business and headed down immediately. Not looking too good at this point.

Do NOT let on to your family that you can hear again.

Dave,
Not sure about the phone just yet. Haven't tried it except briefly
listening to my daughter yesterday. You do know I don't really know
what you sound like. <G>

Ha ha. This reminds me of an article I read on line a couple years ago. Basically a woman in Germany was filing for divorce after 21 years of marriage. She found out that her husband was pretending to be deaf for the past 8 years and he even had a doctor diagnose a fake illness that caused the hearing loss!

Hi Roger


I was reading the blog about the Cochlear implants. I could use
them. What is involved to install them and what is the cost?

Good news. Will they train you on how to selectively tune out some things?

Seriously, this has to be a blessing. You can have a conversation and
everyone will get to enjoy stress-free interaction.

Imagine, you get to hear road noise, birds, whispers behind your back, in
addition to the cry of a little one.

By the way, I forgot to honk on my way back up 65 last Sunday until I was
nearly to Veterans Parkway and Two Mile Pike.
