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!!!! : )

Hi Samantha, my name is Isabelle, and I found out that my 15 week old son is profoundly deaf. We want him to have a cochlear implant, and I found your blog at the HiRes website.
It's so wonderful to see how you're doing so well, and how happy you seem to be with your CI. I want that for my son, I really do... and it calms my heart to see such a beautiful girl like you living a normal life with your CI. It gives me hope, that my son will have that for himself too!
Thank you for your blog, it helped me so much... :)
Isabelle!
