Shel's CI Adventures

Hi, Everyone, and WELCOME! :O) ... On April 28th, 2005, I was implanted with a "Bionic Ear" from Advanced Bionics! My activations will be on June 7th, 9th, and 16th! I created this blog so I could share my experiences with all of you, as well as keep a record of them for myself! I hope you enjoy reading about them -- thanks for sharing this incredible miracle with me! :O)

Birds and Music

I returned to aqua-therapy this morning ... the silence without my CI while I was in the water was actually a bit refreshing – maybe I’m more overwhelmed than I want to admit! :o0 ... I listened to the hammering, pipe-tapping, water drops falling and quacking noises from the birds, again – the quacking sounds a bit more like Donald Duck, too, now, instead of a real duck (although there still weren’t any ducks there!) :O)

The telephone buzzed three times before I realized what it was and answered it – but this time whoever called didn’t want to wait for me to put on my hearing aid ... must not have been important – they didn’t call back, either!

I’m beginning to hear a slight fluctuation in the tone of my voice when I sing to myself! ... I’m beginning to wonder if I’m not picking up a distant radio station – everywhere I go, I seem to almost constantly hear some faint music and static and even voices (which I can’t understand what they’re saying, of course)! :O) ... Will have to ask Jennifer when I see her on Thursday! Hee! Hee! :O)
