8:30 am
clearly have the solutions, the future, the 77 percent, every weekend on dw, the the, the funding simpson young finish. and i know when i was 15 years old, i go to re a form of meningitis. i could barely move ran a high temperature, and it was as if i had a whole lot of cotton stuffed in my use on compact. as soon as i'm seeing when my hearing started to fail, of course, there was even more anxiety that i didn't expect it would be going for good. are you making a coffee? of course. okay,
8:31 am
i'm kind of how the calculator implants give me some freedom sticks because i can join in line just as high as just like every other person on the little mental i'm going to sit down now. sure. and all of those, the one that i'm all of the on 37 years old and i'm a father, we 2 children. oh my desk. but i can still here today i'm on a journey and on this journey i support the people who are in similar situations. to identify with having the colquitt implant will see young and to learn how to deal with it. also on just a view myself as a motivator, supports us and a good sounding board. i've also really super, super perfect. yep said chapter 5 was lucky in quotation marks that i was already 15 when i got meningitis and as a result, my language acquisition was comple read by
8:32 am
a change agent to 90 percent of my hearing relatively quickly with the ceiling. of course that was a good results, which is a goodness experience. you know, i'm in the ceiling center in free that i have a follow up appointment today during it. they'll primarily look at how well i'm hearing. then afterwards they'll make little adjustments to see if i might hear even better in the future for so the only means high, it's nice to see what comes on. so we've got a bit of work to do today. which side really want to start with. you start on the left side to say it's fine. good, i'm going to take off the right. then we'll do one syllable words, please just repeat after me. so what we do? close error at the speed
8:33 am
smalls most crowded scans about us. did you say kindness or guns? can i say clarence, come, come into the country, the re fi, you hang on the, to the had been great. yeah. you know, i was close. okay. i see i well, they were all correct. wonderful. we, i'm copying us right now. we have a young man on the rehab board, ben with many questions, and i think he'd be over the moon if he could meet an adult user and maybe do a little interview with some interview wouldn't. couldn't to absolutely happy to there. yes. hi. hi, i'm molly ben. hi, nice to meet you. same here. see the should we sit down by me associate dollars because it happened to me like this. the my parents told me that i had an operation on my sarah balance and the product, and it sort of happened to that,
8:34 am
but i don't know exactly how this is gonna be, but we found out about it somehow we, we were barbecuing. yeah. how much coming like post office, you know, chinese whispers besides heart, i probably sitting on my mother's right and she was put something in my left ear and i just didn't hear a thing. that's what i'm here about as the oil is via then my case for a certain time, a few weeks i was completely desk with them because it wasn't clear at all. yeah. to fight ever be able to hear again and come with a name. and then i actually had my 1st feeling appointment at the university hospital. so i asked on how soon the man turned it on and he said now you hearing well, and i don't just do teams of done guy tests. and these have the, you know, my mother was sitting next to me and she already had t as in her eyes. and then yeah, it was totally overwhelming. we allowed us what to type of aging. that's fine. what time it done was when my mother wished, but something in my left ear and diondra student, that was really nice for me. it was a really beautiful and i'm forgettable moment for this. the human some of the ways
8:35 am
when i se salon or share with somebody who's hearing and pad like now with us to then i've gotten a feeling that i'm not so alone and then there are others on the escape. the to this of course, there are moments when he seemed why am i hearing and pad? why am i like this is a benefit. so they momentum is out of those moments. then it's just very important that you can share with others. and you can converse, like we're doing now. all that you can always recall again and again that use something quite special with con human pot machine. and that's just really make it cool. do you have a sign language name? what status is? cuz i think it's like an abbreviation, it's not the names spelled out and instead it's a short cut that's usually related to a personal characteristic or something like that. and again, this is my son named. so stroking the see it, that's my sign name. and then i say my name is oliver and um, it's one of them. that was really
8:36 am
cool. yes. i'd be really happy to see you again. have lots of fun and rehab and good bye for now. tell a man or do you mind cannot with these nobody can understand what it's really like ultimately to leave with a hearing impairment. even my parents haven't really processed it. i'm, i'm in, in the end. we never really spoke about it properly, about how we feel, how we deal with it and what it actually does to us. yeah. not even up to today. this is great to see you. second here come in with the rest of the family home. uh huh. okay, good. look what i found was really old stuff for you before i throw it out. yeah. theres done throw it out no way less lucky the magnets still work with
8:37 am
all commodities enrolled in 20 years. it's the technology here. let's see. what else? you know, i don't know, i just looked in, but you know, due to this and quite here's my goodness, look, this was a get well card from my class back. then they all signed it and it says, hopefully you'll be better soon. get well that's the best of them. yeah. and then there's the notice here that my sister rose seats, you don't hear so nothing is in both ears, hosted and honest. and you really didn't hear anything. and then they emphasized that it was really, really important. and that was my communication then. so that's how we communicate it. then we just wrote and as far as the homeless sheet i'm showing and i can still see you sitting in front of the tv on the couch. you set
8:38 am
right up on the edge with the tv clothes. and you said mama, i don't hear anything. now go stuff time has clicked on doesn't to be a and then we were in the hospital and then we drove to houston and i kept pointing at the traffic signs. so you'd know that we weren't driving home. we were driving to who should, you know, who was the was moment was when we were in the hospital with a doctor and she pumped in front of all sorts of stuff and then said, now we just have to wait while this one, because that was the time that he could have died and this is that is, this will, that was so, you know, i, one day it was that until the next day and then she said, so i think he'll pull through this. it was because he really had a strong constitution and that was just that one day that was really bad about us. we sat there in the evening and didn't know if we'd still have us on the next day. this wouldn't have as to what it's about. so it just seems so to read as stupid as
8:39 am
it is with the meningitis. there are people who died, staff and be children die from this disease. and these are contract. yeah. and would you like it was the cerebral cortex where it had progressed quite far, but as long as the others became blind and you only lost your hearing one time per your foot on the slips. i know that sounds completely awful in quit in my heart of hearts. it was the lesser of 2 evils. from and raised. it might have, i mean, it would be much, much nicer if you can still hear. but for me you do here is probably i just thought it doesn't matter. he's a live, the rest of it will manage will just handle it to perform. the main thing is that he's still here, not the
8:40 am
just yes, that was very emotional. she does it. so much was stood up. many things that have faded over time. now they will come up again. come on, how to magic it was backs and how close it was and how badly i was doing something, at least for a very, very short period. 24 hours. yeah. that just has to settle a bit. yeah, this will suggest most of the bottom of my going out of hospital stay to time for a few more weeks. but when to see i arrived and i was able to hear with the see i, i went back to school. i was playing handful at the time. you say i went back to the playing field. so everything was basically the same as before before i have them. but look in back now, that was probably a mistake. so i don't because i didn't take the time to attempt to the new circumstances. i can them have a minus to do it. so in the 9 understands unsurpassed,
8:41 am
i simply went back to where i was carried on doing what i was doing before. and that's of course very, very often overwhelmed and exhausted me too, but i didn't know how to compensate for that. and so obviously the guys can post also guide is good. i know you mentioned in the sky. there are some moments when i don't hear tools wise when i'm in the shower, for example, just because of the devices that running the water resistant to a certain degree and do what i eat. so when i'm showering or at the swimming pool, i'm completely dead. the i'll just finish eating
8:42 am
this and i'll go out with her. okay, the should i bring back anything? i'll be going by the pharmacy. no spray or noise drugs say decide to papa. type up a see you later. see later? sonya is sonya or is by far and away the strongest woman i've ever met until she's completely a person with a big heart. she's super enthusiastic and she accepts me the way i am hottest. the tip me, she's always been the business side. so what does the brain has to learn a new way of hearing through the ceiling? which means that there's only active hearing and not passive hearing, as with a hearing person knock, cheapest on mission. it's only by the i'm,
8:43 am
i'm plastic. this was one. now this is using a hold of my hearing capacity, and so i really can't react tool that's going on around me. i wouldn't notice if a con drive off or anything, or if both would speak together. i've missed that completely pop up. i want to con those to say it again. pop it in here. i want to climb on washington on those 2 on the spot where it puts you at the most cuz i'll have to concentrate 100 percent on everything that's going on around you was what's being said. because otherwise you misunderstand it. don't understand it, or you just pick up fragments and then maybe you don't get the context either. i'm going on this and that's a big guess. it, when you have to spend the whole day concentrating on every b to have information constant. again, this is close to the theme site and it takes a lot of energy at any rate, especially with the children and most people where you notice there's
8:44 am
a whole other noise level in the house. i think it's, it's been concentrating and stressful situations. it's harder also the house. and since visa, we've also taken a sign language course. and if i to apply myself more and then we would have another goody that to help us in the situation. some of my in goody, and what's in these adults? 2 and a half since the last couple weeks. now we're on our way to the now home. right now, we're going to the rehab clinic where you want it is. she's doing stationary rehab there and is nearly done. so for us to end it, i'm it or the you on my go to know you on a through self help to ultimate. i'm deserves to for the to
8:45 am
say, i ended up in self help because i became aware of it by accident. and then suddenly i noticed what a great environment cities and what great people you get involved with the bus will tell you mentioned one that's a tool, not a service to the title. of course, they're nicer here. yes, i'm glad to show we said hm, yeah, fine to say that you haven't been able to hear it old on one side since you were to do you regret getting the implants? not at all? no. really. the 1st off that was actually the best thing i could have done. i came here thinking basically it can only get better on the yes because with you or yeah, there wasn't anything there. right. and i see that you now have really nice looking notes of plastics and attractive design. it looks really good to know exactly about
8:46 am
the and i'd like people to know why or sometimes we have definitely or not at all. and i like it as compared now. could you describe the sounds comparing now today to a few weeks ago when get sorry to hear that much better, more natural in the technician comes boss. more natural. was it to any of the stones? metallic? i always say it sounded like darth vader, the stop phoenix hosted with many sizes in my life where i was very frustrated select energy and had no motivation because it was just too much. but i never sat down and asked myself where it was coming from. now is part of the self help program i was suppose to deal with it so that i could be a role model for others to somebody else. and then that's it. that's why the mind that often form design so can thought about leasing the youngest self health group . in particular, the trend is now towards making it is can speak us as possible so that people can
8:47 am
immediately see from the outside that hey, i've got some things. and if you're interested, just ask me, just talk to me about it. yeah, stuff. yeah, it's chilly. should we go in there? yeah, i like that. done loud here, then a switch to noise reduction. filter all the cups and a couple of them pass me on the order suspect that's a visa too much better. show me that photo again that you made of me before showing the looks really cool about for for me we uploaded yes. uploaded and send it to me . i think we can be very persuasive. so we always says
8:48 am
come along to events and so on, where you might still have an emissions at the beginning. you don't belong there or something, but he also makes it easy somehow i realize the tired so he gets him, well it's raining here a little and that's not great because we're wearing technology on areas because so it's always good to have a good or non berella to be protected, the photo shoots, possessive of food, i'm a sales health gives you a real keke of happiness. easy to see again and again how you can bring people along, support them, help them with such small things signed. and that gives you so much in return, that's just the script. i'm also when i refuse to work. so if it doesn't mean that i have a hair appointment now, so i'll definitely have to take off the ceilings and i won't hear anything for a while. but my head dressed and knows that by now she actually knows would be to
8:49 am
bounce it. and it's not a problem to this as well. simple. before i go in my use been beeping, so we'll have to replace the battery for the lowest policies or the so fresh palace of the smart like a drink gully. nothing's done. the got in the spring and especially after a stressful day, it's really nice to switch off the world so to speak. and just be in a kind of quiet space where nothing can bother you with noise to the mom's design go. i missed me a while. everyone else who can hear is full is to listen 247. and i can basically
8:50 am
say at any time that i'm going to take them off and then i won't hear anything to the next. and that's just kind of a superpower or a special feature that not everyone has one's owns, owns, owns owns. and especially if each of us have the mishita hot. lesson house, my blonde angel. and i'm sorry, plus how's my blonde angel yoni? and then gets ice and he's actually doing quite well. he's probably it necessary. right now. they always have a mooning circle when they sit together and get in the mood for the day. so photography, the done and all the
8:51 am
exercise and introduce yourself to it. and then i see it regularly on the couch and answer questions that come to me. he is one from a young woman who rides on sunday. i have to say i set something in front of your profile and does it? yes ma'am. i don't know if it was because of your role outside with familial positive side, or just because you encouraged means that even though i was calling them what i mean would come out. and that's an incredibly valuable rewards. it's not the end of the day. so you have all entry what that's sort of autonomy. that's and, and this for this and the multiple types of sidelines i write to the participants directly. and so i can again get
8:52 am
some feedback. oh no, i think i'm doing that with you on us. and this makes it seem to you on the students understanding here on the coolant because i like to keep an eye on everything so that i don't end up in any awkward situations because i didn't hear or pick something up. i like to keep an eye on everything. i'm just kind of the civic the you've seen a touch of as amazing here today. i've organized the venue and lots of people have signed up. i'm really excited to see if you want. i can make it very stressful day. of course, it's even hard if the hearing impaired people to take pounds in
8:53 am
a group meeting like these come to spice and in the event. so what would you like to achieve? we're a self help group. we'd simply like to create a group, so sharing a network to give people who are often isolated an opportunity for outside contact . you can contact thousands of on the ration that you've made it. i'm glad for me to come in and have a seat on a stomach are starting to be honest. the 1st regulars table we set may be 4 or 5 of the same, but now hind today there are around 20 to 30 people at the regulars meeting. and it's really nice because we keep in contact to that way. and that's exactly what people want. this definitely keeps self helped together and off as
8:54 am
a totally important exchange harvesting. i'll start the semester. it's not always easy to be in the hearing worlds. but through this community, i have a bit of faith and hope that hearing people will also be one with me at some point . they take it for granted. yes. they've got these things so you can hear it's all good. yes, but that i go home in the evening and ask, did i get my oh, today i did, i understand everything correctly did i stand out and there are so many self doubts that you carry with you your whole life. that normal hearing people can't take away my room. i'm miss munos. this is to tod. it's totally invigorating. it's totally or not. so you just recharges your battery in
8:55 am
a big way. this is pure self awareness of this person. please visit rooms that you simply experience here. and that's a great feeling. my guy for the lead on the system told us maybe mary can only here with her cochlear implants. mimi explains to the children, and he is a picture showing that its implanted in the establish on. i do have payers. if it needs to be replaced at some point, how will his hearing be then? will they be able to maintain it or might be even worse, they stuck on an emergency call comes in, sam remains calm and focused. so a member caught him either to here in to any use definitely never over. that's especially as we get older. no other problems may arise, which may also be related to the hearing impairment. for me, i have my family who would totally support, especially sonya,
8:56 am
who supports me through. it'll have the community which gives me a lot of input. and i think i'm on the right track and then get this style from good to be in the
