Switched on

The last few days have been pretty hectic for me because I got what mummy and daddy call, "my ears".

Despite having a little scare on Saturday night with a burst eardrum, I managed to still make my date with my buddies over at the SCIC to have my cochlear implant switched on. Some little kids freak out, but oh no, not me! I smiled!

My audiologist, Paula is only going to give me a little bit of sound at a time, to make sure it doesn't get too overwhelming for me. So at the moment, about half of my expected hearing is working and the volume is turned down pretty low. Here's a picture with my mum just after my second appointment today (11th Jan).

Mummy thought I would be strong willed and try and pull the earpiece off but I have only had it in my mouth once since I've got it. I actually really like sound so I'm going to keep it on! Well, that is as long as there's always something else to stick in my mouth!
