Reclaiming Sound, One Note at a Time – My Cochlear Implant Journey
Over the past three—or even four—decades, I gradually lost my ability to hear normally. What began as the occasional missed words in a conversation or notes in music slowly turned into a daily effort to follow conversations with family and friends, and to take part in regular life. A few months ago, I decided that I did not want to continue adapting around this hearing loss. A few weeks back, I underwent cochlear implant surgery to reclaim the life that had been slipping away.
