What I Hear....

- View Profile

About This Group

This group is designed to be an open group for people to take a minute out of their busy lives and listen.  Stop and smell the roses in a sense except in this case it is "Stop and listen to life"  Take a minute, close your eyes, and share what you hear.  It is a great way to embrace the new sounds that you hear and allow the foreigness of sounds to become familiar again.  I encourage you to take a minute...

 

 

STOP AND LISTEN TO LIFE!

 

 

(To share the sounds you hear and CI or Baha moments you've experienced, please create a new blog post within this group.)

 

 

Awareness about this technology is so important.  I'll be using the What I Hear.... group to lead an ongoing “I Hear Again” campaign.  This campaign is designed to create awareness about cochlear implants and baha and how this technology can change lives.   

 

If you have a Cochlear Implant or a Baha please post your hearing experiences to this group (What I Hear...) and tell about how it has changed your lives.

 

If you have hearing loss or know someone who has hearing loss…read through these stories to see just how many people are experiencing the miracle of sound again!  There are options if your hearing aid is not enough.  Please visit www.cochelar.com, join www.cochlearcommunity.com or send a message to any member of this group to get more of your questions answered!

 

If you would like to get involved in the “I Hear Again!” campaign:

 

Please send me a message or email me at Srinehart@cochlear.com with your:

 1) Name

 2) Mailing address

 3) Number of  “I Hear Again!” stickers you would like.
