Sam's Hearing Life

A few months ago, my mom and I were due for an upgrade on our cell phones. I usually get it at the same time as her so I can get the free one in the "Buy 1 get 1 Free" special. This time, we got the Blackberry Bold. I had full intentions on getting a Blackberry once I graduate from college and into the "real world" but I was going to wait until then because I didn't think it would be necessary for me since I'm just a student.

Never would I have thought I'd become SO addicted to this Blackberry!



Ever since I have gotten it, I have become addicted with getting all my emails immediately, browsing the internet wherever I go and all the other applications available on the Blackberry.

But the MAIN reason why I love this new phone and why I think its blog-worthy is that I am now able to hear and understand on it A LOT better by using my Cochlear Implant!! Before, I've had to use my Hearing Aid and it would always be a hassel because I would have to be somewhere quiet... which in my case, very rare!

So now, I'm talking on the phone more and building up my phone confidence! And I must say, it's about time! :)

Guess that "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" Special ended up being a "life-saver" for me as it's the perfect time for me to start getting used to using my CI on the phone.
