With a cochlear implant you have NO hearing when they are not in place, correct?

My nephew got his cochlear implants around the same age as you. They knew he was deaf while he was still in the womb. He just upgraded to a bluetooth set as well, and now his teachers wear a microphone thing in class so that it feeds directly to his implant. He's 15. I'm jealous that he can secretly listen to music and none of us know it.

ps. We did a gofundme to get his implants. I'm not sure if everyone is aware but the medical insurance benefits for hearing devices are TERRIBLE. My brother had to pay 11k out of pocket for implants for my nephew. Thanks to generous folks he was able to fund-raise most of it.

Is there a big market for capes?

If so, more people need to see Edna E Mode's warning in The Incredibles. ;-) Just kidding!

cool! I'll have to see if my nephew knows about the cover!

We were boating once when he was very young and his parents did not make him remove his implants. Hit a big wave...bloomp implant down to the bottom of the lake. He must have been fiddling with them or something
