This is my first post on AllDeaf. I've been lurking for a few months and finally decided to join. I'm hearing and I'm here mainly because I'm interested in learning about being deaf/hoh and the Deaf culture.
Anyways, on to my question/thread topic. (I wasn't sure if this should go in THIS area or the CI and hearing aid area... you can move it if I'm wrong.) I'm interested in what it's like to be deaf or VERY hoh your whole life/long time and then hear again. A few months ago (March 11th, I got the email) Jamie Berke (about.com) was explaining what it was like "Going Live With a Cochlear Implant". I found it really really interesting and I've been wondering about other experiences similar this. Did you recognize voices? Was music what you expected? What about birds chirping and cars on the highway and things like that?
