It always cracks me up whenever I take off my implant to show my hearing friends and they try to put it on to see if they can hear from it or sometimes they try to speak into the mic to see if I can still hear them! But I have to explain to them that that's not how it works. lol It has to be connected to the magnet in my head...and they always get this confused look on their face... its so funny! :P
It reminds me of the guy from the Verizon commercials - "Can you hear me now... how about now?!"
And also, when I'm in class and we're all listening to our ipods. I'd be jamming out to my favorite songs and some of my classmates would ask to hear what I'm listening to so I would hand them my direct connect cord and they always get this confused terrified look on their face! They're like "what the heck is that?!" lol And I tell them that its my "headphone set" and they try to stick it in their ear to try to hear from it!!! But then I show them how it connects to my implant and you can see a light bulb pop up above their head!! :P
I love doing that to my friends.... it cracks me up! :)
Only AWESOME people get to hear out of the Cochlear Implants!! hehe :D

Hi, Sam! I saw you mention your blog on the Facebook group HearingExchange teens. Just wanted to say hi, and I wanted to ask, are you aware of the AGBell Association? It has a convention every two summers, and there is one in Milwaukee this coming summer. Lots of deaf and hard of hearing peers attend!
Oh, and to introduce myself, I'm Erik, 21 years old, and I've had my cochlear implant since I was 2 years old. Feel free to IM me at Erik x Fusion, or find out more about AGBell by searching for it on Facebook!
