Questions and Answers...

I’ve had some questions about the last post on my hair and the implant, so I thought it might be best if I answered them on here…

Question: Do you wear your implant on top of your hair or underneath it??
Answer: Me personally wear it underneath. When I wear my hair up I try to put it underneath but there have been times, where I would have to put it on top due to the hairstyle (ex. Pigtails or a Ponytail). But when I wear my hair down…its always underneath. I have seen people wear both ways, so I guess it really depends on your preference and your hair!

Question: Do people see it more easily than a hearing aid?
Answer: On me…no, if anything they notice the hearing aid more than the implant! I think a lot of people think that your implant is probably some new technology for listening to music or one of those “blue tooth” things that you see people wearing for their cell phones. And I say this because I know that almost every time we get in an elevator somebody asks Jonathan what he’s listening to…because they see the implant and assume that its like an MP3 player or something. But then that’s when we tell them what it is and what its for and they think its pretty cool and amazing that we can hear and talk even though we are deaf!! : )

I hope that helps a little bit...and if you have any other questions - ASK ME! I love answering questions that anyone has!! : )
