My Cochlear Implant broke last year and I haven’t been wearing it. I’ve been stone deaf for quite a long time now. I just miss hearing and being able to understand people better when they talk to me. I was at a friend’s BBQ party recently and her friends were talking to me. I had to ask them to repeat because I couldn’t hear anything they were saying. Mainly relied on lipreading, but it wasn’t enough for me. I didn’t understand some of what they were saying.
I hope I get a new Cochlear Implant ASAP, but it’s so expensive. I just want to be able to understand again. I want to be able to talk with friends without having to ask them to repeat or to sign to me.
