I heard the sea for the first time after my cochlear implant

I’m quite happy with this accomplishment. For the first time in almos 2 years, I was able to hear the ocean, after getting my coclear implant done. I have been quite anxious about that. Certainly it was the most beautiful and poetic experience I had since I activated the implant 6 months ago. It was so special, that I was able to write a poem about it. #Deafness #Hearing #cochlearimplant #newperspective

First time hearing the ocean #Deafness #cochlearimplant

I really love to be part of this amazing community. Here, we feel safe to share our fears, concerns and also our victories. I was on vacations last week and, for the first time in two years, thanks to the Cochlear Implant I got nearly 6 months ago, I was able to hear the ocean. It was confusing at first, but then, when I realized I was actually hearing the waves it was amazing. Did not feel like leaving the beach lol . It was so amazing that I was able to write a poem about it. It is amazing how the technology can change our lives. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity, specially after more than 20 years losing my hearing due to #APS #AntiphospholipidSyndrome and other factors.
