Yesterday was amazing- a technological miracle.
They say, "Art is worth a thousand words", but what about a video. I am a technological miracle. I was able to video tape my special moment to share with you.
But first let me take you back five or so years.
Five years ago, I woke up with sudden hearing loss. I didn't have any sound in my left ear and barely anything in my right. The reason was an infection. Although, the doctors are not complete sure what the infection was since I was on some strong antibiotics. I had to learn sign language and adjust job responsilibies to my job and family environment. I tried hearing aids for about one year which were great but my hearing got worse.

Thanks to medical science Advanced Bionics gave me hearing back again in my left ear. Watch this amazing first video.

Several years later I found the funds to implant and activate my right ear. I know have two working ears. Here are the videos from yesterday. I am so blessed to have the support of my family and friends. For those who are not sure cochlear implants are the best route I hope this inspires you.
