Meeting an Implant Recipient

As part of the process the Cochlear Implant people recommend that prospective implantees meet other people who have been implanted. They try to match you to someone in similar circumstances or similar background, but everyone is different

It's a way of allaying fears and misconceptions prospects might have and broadens the real knowledge of the intended recipient.

There are two I will meet.

One fellow is a IT consultant and there'll be more about that later

The other, if I remember the story correctly, is a girl who is under-10 deaf since birth.

She is now able to play the trumpet. And her father took up the trumpet too so he could play with her! How's that!?

There'll be more as it comes to hand
