Hearing loss has been a part of my life from birth or an early age. I began wearing a hearing aid in one ear in 1973 and in both ears in 1977. In the spring of 2005 I decided to pursue cochlear implant technology. At the urging of friends and professional associates I wrote a journal of the experiences that led to successful implantation and adaptation of this marvelous technology. This is not a typical story of hearing loss. Such things don't exist. This is my story.
