The other day, he went hiking with his dog and heard this weird sound and couldn't figure out what it was. But he noticed his dog looking up, so he looked up to see what he was looking at and saw a whole group of geese flying above him!
He was so excited that he could hear them because before he would have been completely oblivious to them... he would never have known they were flying above him unless he was actually looking at the sky.
Now, if you were out and enjoying nature taking nice hikes through the woods, wouldn't you want to get the full effect and hear all the neat sounds of birds and animals? I know I would! :)
I guess its the little things that we take for granted that mean the most...
It always makes me happy when deaf people hear new sounds for the first time making their faces glow with excitement! I guess you never know what you're missing out on until you hear something for the first time.

Sam,
Had my activation just last week, and my bird-related sound discovery is that birds sing so LOUD! I forgot, after years of deafness, that birds are (shall we say) insistent and that while hearing people are able to let the cacophony of birdsong slip to a pleasant background, for we new 'switch-ons' the sound is all too obvious.
