Appreciate what you have, if you have it...

While everyone wants a quick fix for all that ails them... Remember that there are others too.

I'm happy to see people get help like that, and especially the kids.

To bad they didn't start out with a nice sounding person talking though.

Did she get a cochlear implant? If it is, it's not a cure or a miracle...she still has to wear a processor. But they do wonders for children in their early stages.

It is not for everyone.

Ya, but say if Justin Bieber starts playing on the radio, they could just turn the processor volume down and go full deaf again, no?

It's the luxury of turning off the noise in the world whenever you feel like it. They are blue tooth like the new hearing aids. You dont need headphones, the sound goes straight to the processor. It's pretty convenient.

I read something on Reddit about someone that was pretty much deaf from birth, had the implants, but as happy as he was with that, just could never get used to all the 'racket' of the world.

Sounded like he just couldn't get used to having constant noises around 24/7, and had to 'tune out' from time to time.

Things like just flushing the toilet, he never realized just how much noise that made.

It is a different lifestyle.

i can say this another way

appreciate what you have WHILE you still have it

ie the ability to see things clearly or ability to walk around outside etc

and by appreciating do those very things WHILE YOU STILL CAN ie. take surfing lessons

I can attest to that being I'm pretty much useless anymore.
I hate how my life is, I used to be able to do a lot, and more than most people so it bothers me more than most maybe.
I went from working 12-14 hours a day, and working here at home as well, to almost a full stop.
Work was my life, and I enjoyed achieving things.
