“A lot of people with disabilities or illnesses can probably relate to the battle between your condition and who you are, and how much of your condition is who you are.”

“Imagine that as soon as you meet another person, you have to wonder if having a conversation with you is a chore. You’re often asking someone to repeat themselves, or missing their inflection and struggling to focus on the meaning behind their words. So often, people skip having conversations with you, so they don’t have to repeat themselves. This was my reality.”

“With a cochlear implant, though, sound has almost no depth perception. The noise goes into my implant, and I hear it at the same volume, whether it’s right next to me or across a room. Some people assume you get a cochlear implant, and you no longer have a disability, but that just isn’t true. Hearing for me was always work. A cochlear implant will never be the same as having a functioning cochlea.”
