A Spooky CI Moment...
Here is a question for you:If a car alarm goes off in the garage and no one is around, does it make a sound?The other day I was working in my office upstairs (I work at home for our consulting business) and heard a car alarm go off.

A Cochlear Implant Journey Video
This is a must see video! It describes the hearing loss journey of Josh and Sam Swiller, their cochlear implant surgery, activation, therapy, and life afterwards perfectly....and is almost identical to my hearing loss experience and results.

A Lotte Update
After I sent a response to Lotte's father about "the experiment," I received the following response. Lotte's father has given me permission to share it:"Hi Laurie,Thanks for that experiment. And a thorough job you did...Was great to hear how you perceived the sound. "Distant and nasal" is a description we can use. With this we will try to have Lotte to wear it on the ear. With the battery still on the shoulder perhaps. We'll do some experimenting ourself. Thinking of it, the fact that the BTE is not just hanging on the ear, but also hugging the
