		<title>What?  I can&#8217;t hear?  But I thought I was!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I had listening therapy with Laurie.  I got set up with the CKatz system and was doing the test for it to establish a profile for me.
After listening to the warmup sounds, I started the test, with both my hearing aid and my cochlear implant on, and had to identify all the consonants.

		<title>Speech Therapy Videos On The Web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had a impromptu speech therapy session with Karen and another student of hers today.  While I was there, she reminded me that the videos of the two of us are up on the website, so I got to see them!
Here&#8217;s me talking and working at speech therapy (for those of you who are curious what [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=228&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>First Day Back At School With The CI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First day back at school with the cochlear implant on.  It&#8217;s very&#8230;interesting.  I&#8217;ve been switching back and forth between using Fidelity 120 and the regular programming.
Irritated with myself because my alarm clock didn&#8217;t go off this morning, so I missed seeing Laurie.  I didn&#8217;t wake up until Marvin jumped up on my bed, pushed his [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=220&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Heart-Stopping Moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had my appointment with Catherine today.  And we came up with a plan of action.

Borrow the battery from them, to see if it reduces the itching/redness, and if it&#8217;s my batteries that are causing the problem.
If that doesn&#8217;t work, try out a body processor.

So that&#8217;s where we started.  We went into the CI booth, plugged [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=216&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back&#8230;and going to be wearing my CI for the first time since&#8230;.last spring, really.
Correction, I&#8217;ve made a few attempts to wear it over the summer, and most recently,  in January, when I had a dinner date.  I wanted to be able to have a conversation in a loud restaurant, with a person who was hearing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=205&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why I Haven&#8217;t Worn My CI In Five Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post, I said that I hadn&#8217;t worn my CI for three weeks.
While I was at home over Spring Break, and chatting with my mom, I was itching, so I started to scratch my ear.  She saw that my ear was red, and asked me to take off my CI, which revealed [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=204&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Alarms Going Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sitting here at work right now, going through photos from this week&#8217;s photo shoots.  I feel this beeping on the side of my head, on the CI side (I don&#8217;t have it on, and I haven&#8217;t worn it for about 3 weeks now), and I look up, confused at this noise which I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=203&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s not about which method, it&#8217;s about getting the information out there</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Again, it&#8217;s not a matter of which method one uses, but the fact that early exposure to language is the key.  I&#8217;ve been asked whether having the cochlear implant or not will make a deaf child more &#8220;hearing&#8221;, and whether a parent should choose the oral only or sign only or both methods.
But here&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=200&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I Miss My Residual Hearing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fall 1999.  Senior in high school.  My only solace was to fall asleep to music every night.
I&#8217;d climb in bed with my discman, and jam those earbuds as far in they could go.  Sometimes I&#8217;d fall asleep with a finger in my ear, holding the earbud juuuust the right way for maximum [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bionically.wordpress.com&blog=483337&post=199&subd=bionically&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
