Listening Closely: A Journey to Bilateral Hearing by Arlene Romoff
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: Imagine what it would be like not to hear a sound—no music, no friendly voices, no children’s laughter. Arlene Romoff doesn’t have to imagine how it would feel: she lived it. Although she was born with normal hearing, in her late teens it began to slip away, as if someone were lowering the volume of the world around her. Over the next twenty-five years, Arlene began a long, slow descent into deafness so profound that no hearing aid or assistive device could help. The experience was devastating.
But then Arlene opted for what she considers a miracle: She got a cochlear implant. Using electrodes threaded into the cochlea, an internal computer chip, and an external computer processor, cochlear implants bypass the damaged portion of the cochlea and stimulate the auditory nerve directly, allowing sound to reach the brain. Amazingly, she could hear again.
