Self Check: Cochlear Implant Gratitude
It’s been a while since I last posted, but recently I had a self-check moment that brought me back to reflecting on my cochlear implant journey.
Many grocery stores have transitioned to self-checkout lines, and my go-to, Aldi, has converted most of theirs to self-check.

What’s SUP?
I’ve long harbored a desire to own a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), a wish that recently materialized while browsing through the intriguingly named “Aisle of Shame” at Aldi. Seemingly in the blink of an eye, I found myself the proud owner of a SUP.
Grateful for the Gift of Hearing
One year ago, I wrote a blog post titled “Relieved and Grateful” about restarting my cochlear implant marathon after being re-implanted. Last week, I had my one-year mapping session and now I can truly be GRATEFUL for the GIFT of hearing.

Relieved and Grateful
I am back and running in the CI marathon! When I published the #hearingspanglish blog titled “Marathon Setbacks”, I was hesitant to share with all of you this part of the story.
Marathon Road to Recovery
The marathon CI journey set back is getting back into the race. On Dec 3, I underwent re-implantation CI surgery. Helen Keller once said “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement”.
GRIT: When you fall down, you get back up!
Part of the cochlear implant marathon is getting back up after a set back. In my last blog I talked about how during the cochlear implant marathon we may have set backs along the way.
Marathon Set Backs
It has been a while since I have posted a blog post for hearingspanglish.blog and I am glad that you are with me today. I was hesitant to write the blog and to publish it. Why? Because I really wanted to write about my cochlear implant marathon from the view of rainbows and unicorns.
Bimodal Boost
Can your brain can make sense of an amplified acoustic signal in one ear and an electronic signal in the opposite ear? This was a frequent question asked to me.
