A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted neuroprosthetic device to
provide a person with hearing loss a modified sense of sound
19
I carried around
a device called
a cochlear implant.
I slide a battery in
and attach the
magetic headpiece
to my head behind
the ear.
20
Eventually I upgraded my device as I got older for better sound
and convenience such as it being able to sit on the ear and blutooth
21
This is where the
headpiece goes
on my head
The color of it
blends in with
my hair
22
I had a pretty nifty collection of artwork to cover my headpiece
All thanks to my mom :)
23
Sometimes I got so
frustrated at first
relearning to hear
I would yank the
headpiece off
But I stuck with
it and got better
at it :)
24
I kept doing the things I loved to do
and I was back to my normal silly self

Until...
