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.

My Cochlear Implant Journey with Carrie Spangler
Countdown
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome to my blog Hearing Spanglish.
Decisions like this take a lot of thought and time and has not happened overnight. I have been journaling many of my thoughts and in the upcoming posts, I will share how I arrived at this point.
Pending insurance approval, I have a surgery date scheduled for November 15, 2019!!
The 2 month countdown has begun!
Stay tuned for topics including making the call, whose in your circle, testing day, and many more.

Welcome to the Hearing Spanglish blog. You may be wondering about the name.
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.
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.
