Interesting Quote...

Well the other day I was reading this magazine called "Choices" in interior design. And one of the articles in the magazine was about a hearing loss and all the things you do that makes your hearing worse and all the things you can do to prevent a hearing loss. In one part, it was trying to explain what a hearing loss is like and this is how American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) put it....

"It's like a dining room chandelier with bulbs that go out. Every day, it dims a little bit until one day you think, 'it's dark in here,' but then its too late to turn the light back on."

But anyways, I thought it was pretty funny how they relate deaf people as chandeliers!! : P So my friend and I were joking around with each other about this and teasing me about being a chandelier!! At first I laughed and I couldn't believe that they were saying that but once you think about it...in a way a hearing loss is like dying light bulbs!!

But in my case, I got high-tech, life-time guaranteed new light bulbs!! : )

I have my speech which will last a lifetime (thanks to AVC) and my new high-tech Cochlear Implant which will also last me forever!! hehe

So now, I am a very bright and shiny chandelier!!!! : )
