That’s amazing. It must be overwhelming for profoundly deaf people to really hear for the first time.

(I used to work with hearing impaired people, and depending on the nature of the hearing loss, many still have some bone conduction; so they can dance to the beat of the music, like the young couple at their wedding.)

That is my next step, I’ve had 2 Meniere’s attacks, and each one steals more of my hearing, Medicare/Tricare Life does NOT cover spouses for the surgery. Plus being 75 is against me. Noisy places are torture.

Hearing sounds and words for the first time, I wonder if they understand what the words they are hearing mean?
