the way they are and where all the solutions mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, 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 ears 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,

i'm trying to have the cochlear implants give me some freedom and stick files because i can join in life as high as just like every other person on the, the, on demand. so 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 all the people who are in similar situations to identify with having the complete implant will see young and to learn how to deal with it auto and just view myself as a motivator supports us and a good sounding board was also looking for zoom across the face. said michelle to this, i was lucky in quotation marks that i was already 15 when i got meningitis and as a result, my language acquisition was complete,

which i had signed agent to 90 percent of my hearing relatively quickly with the ceiling. of course that was a good result, which is a goodness experience. yeah, i'm at the see only center in feedback. 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 can 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, clued error added. the speed

smalls most crowded scans about us. did you say kindness or guns? can i say, clarence, come, come to the cons, the re you hang on the, to the had been great. yeah. you know, i was close. okay. i see as a well, they were all correct. wonderful. we have a copy, mr. 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. couldn't to absolutely happy to there. yes. hi. hi, i'm molly bennett. hi, nice to meet you. same here. see the should we sit down by me? associate dollars for could happen to me like this. yeah, my parents told me that i had an operation on my sarah balance and,

and it sort of happened to that, but i don't know exactly how it's just going to be, but we found out about it somehow. we, we were barbecuing. yeah. how much? i mean, like post office, you know, chinese whispers besides heart, i probably sitting on my mother's right and she whispered something in my left ear and i just didn't hear a thing. that's what i'm hear about us or 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, t 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. then he said, now you hearing well, and i don't just do teams of done guys hosting. 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's the type of aging? that's fine. what time it done was when my mother was put something in my left ear and i understood that was really nice for me. it was a really beautiful and i'm to get to vote moment for this. the moment. i'll bet z

ways when see someone or share with somebody who's hearing and pat like now with us to. then i've got the feeling that i'm not so alone under. there are others on the escape the to this of course, there are moments when you think, why am i hearing and pad? why am i like this is a benefit. so danielman is this 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 a cool. do you have a sign language name? what's that us is cuz i think it's like an abbreviation. it's not been named spelled out and instead it's a short cut that's usually related to a personal characteristic or something like that. and you know, 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 the one that was really

cool. yes, that's fine. 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 the hearing impairments. stephen, my parents haven't really processed it. i'm 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. yep. not even up to today. this is great to see you sitting here. come in with the rest of the family home. uh huh . okay. look what i found was really old stuff for you before i throw it out. yeah. theres done throw it out no way of less lucky the magnets still work

with all commodities and old and 20 years. it's the technology here. let's see. what else, you know, i don't know i just looked in, but not to do that. as soon as my goodness, look, this was a get well card from my class back then they all signed it and it says, and hopefully you'll be there to soon get. well that's the best of them. yeah. and then there's the notice here that my sister, right, sheets you don't hear a tool. 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, i'm showing them i can still see you sitting in front of the tv on the couch. you set

right up on the edge with the tv clothes. and you said mama, i don't hear anything. now go stuff. uh yeah, i just clicked on doesn't to be a. and then we were in the hospital and then we drove to her son and i kept pointing at the traffic signs. so you'd know that we weren't driving home, we were driving to houston. now her phone 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. was this one? because that was a time that he could have died and this is, that is this. well, that was so you know, and 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 happen. so what it's possible just seems to be the stupid as it is

with a meningitis. there are people who died, staff and the children die from this disease and is a compact. 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, what time could you put it on the slips? i know that sounds completely off over a quote in my heart of hearts. it was the lesser of 2 evils from i raised it might have, i mean, it would be much, much nicer if you could still here. but for me you do here is 12. i just thought it doesn't matter. he's alive. the rest of it will manage will just handle it to perform. or the main thing is that he's still here, not the

just yes, that was very emotional. if he 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 back in half close. it was and how badly i was doing something, at least for a very, very short period 24 hours ago. yeah, that just has to settle a bit. yeah, this was it just most of the bottom of i got out of hospital state of 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 said i went back to the playing field. so everything was basically the same as before before i have them. but looking back now, that was probably a mistake size, okay, cuz i didn't take the time to adapt to the new circumstances i cannot, of mine is into it. so in the 9 understands unsurpassed. 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. so obviously the guys can post also guide is good. i think you mentioned and it's got there are some moments when i don't hear tools wise when i'm in the shower for example, just because the device, is it running the water resistant to a certain degree and do what i even saw when i'm showering or at the swimming pool, i'm completely dead. the i'll just

finish eating this, then i'll go out with her. okay, the so should i bring back anything. i'll be going by the pharmacy magazine spray, you'll notice drops to say good bye to papa by papa. see you later. see you later then. sonya is sonya or he's by firing 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. this is the side. so what is 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, i'm mission is only by the i'm plastic. this does one now this is

using up all of my hearing capacity. and so i really can't react tool that's going on around me. i wouldn't notice if it kind of drive off or anything or if both would speak together. i'd 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 because 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 can own this. and that's a big effect on when you have to spend the whole day concentrating on every piece of information on some begins with costs, adelphia and fall, and it takes a lot of energy at any rate, especially with the children. most people where you notice there's

a whole other noise level in the house. i think it's been concentrating and stressful situations. it's harder to towson this one should be able to go. we've also taken a sign language course in a fight, apply myself more, and then we would have another goody that to help us in these situations. some of my in godaddy what's in these adwords, 2 and a half the week. now we're on our way to the now home, right now we're going to the rehab clinic way you want to is she's doing stationary rehab there and it's nearly done. so for us to end it, i'm it under the you on, i go to know you on a 3 self help to ultimate i'm does it to for the to

say i ended up in self help because i became aware of that by accident. and then suddenly i noticed what a great environment cities and what great people you get involved with that. you mentioned one, that's a tool, not a service to the title. of course, the nicer here. yes, i'm glad to show we said hm. yeah, that's fine. well just say that you haven't been able to hear it all 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 are 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. i don't know exactly

to about the i'd like people to know why or sometimes we have to simply or not at all and i like it. let's compare ma'am. could you describe the sounds comparing now today to a few weeks ago, we get sorry to hear that much better, more natural in the technician comes boss. more natural. was it to me at the stats? metallic. i always say it sounded like darth vader, the stop for you to say what many sites as in my life where i was very frustrated, liked 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 forced to deal with it so that i could be a role model for other circuits for somebody else and, and that's it. that's why the monumental informed design so can started, but it was in the youngest health health group in particular, the trend is now towards making it as can speak to us as possible so that people

can 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. so should we go in there? yeah, i like that. the loud here in a switch to noise reduction filter of 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. some of the looks really cool for me. we upload it yes, upload it and send it to me. i think we can be very persuasive. so we always says 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 types of agents in, well, it's raining here a little and that's not great because we're wearing technology on areas. so it's always good to have a hood or an umbrella 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 an irish for you 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 bounce it. and it's not a problem, so her nice as well, kimball dot,

before i go in my use, been beeping, so we'll have to replace the battery on all this policy. the 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 for us to listen 247. and i can basically

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 super power or special feature that not everyone has owns, owns, owns owners, and especially for each of us have abc to help us from house. my blonde angel, and i'm sorry bus. how's my blonde angel? unique as it gets ice and he's actually doing quite well. he's probably it necessary right now. they always have a mooning circle where they sit together and get in the mood for the day. so photography, the done and all the

exercise and introduce yourself to 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 in front of me. i have to say i set something in front of your profile and i don't know if it was because of your role outside with familial positive sides, or just because you encouraged me and i was calling them what i knew about them would come. and that's an incredibly valuable rewards at the end of the day. so you all entry what that sort of autonomy. listen and this, if it doesn't happen and the multiple types of times i write to the participants directly. and so i can again get some feedback or not

if i'm doing that with you on us. and this makes it seem of that you're on the students. i'm standing here on the cooling and 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 being scanned. obviously, [000:00:00;00] the internship is 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 is very stressful day. of course,

it's even hard of hearing impaired people to take punch in a group meeting like these. sometimes types of name the cause that's 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 on the website. 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 the system. just awesome. yeah, that's the 1st regulars table we set maybe 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 that way. and that's exactly what

people want. these definitely keep sales held together and off as a totally important exchange visiting us towards the end. it's not always easy to be in the hearing world, but through this community i have a bit of faith and hope that hearing people were also the 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 give my oh today? how did i understand everything correctly that i stand out and isn't conditional? there are so many self doubts that you carry with you your whole life, that normal hearing people can't take away the home. i'm not understanding

this is todd. it's totally invigorating. it's totally right now. so you just recharges your battery in a big way. this is pure self awareness of this person, please. there's a woman 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 hear with her cochlear implants. mimi explains to the children and he has a picture showing that it's implanted in the establish on. i do have peers. if it needs to be replaced at some point how his hearing be, then will they be able to maintain it or might be even worse. they stuck on an emergency cold comes in, sam remains calm and focused. so in move or caught him either to hearing 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 supported, especially sonya, 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 go from good to be

the, the the, the miracle, the brain. 170000000000. this will help is live away, continue and see to ensure a maximum output the how can you support them, the performance of your near on don't miss out. so now coaching in good shape. coming up on d w. most people, i'm going to choose big business. it is what it is. this week we're going to talk

about big influence as making big money. and the question is, do they have a big responsibility to society? i don't think that the person that comes to my mind when i'm going to places to meet people say, do your, do you think your own civic responsibility to participate in social discourse of the democratic society? the 77 percent in 30 minutes on the w, the to the person making the tattoos to my left arm and i fainted. that's how i got the number. the no my my, my number is 862-6900 and 59 cents. a so on of suffice to concentration camps as
