Do you take your cochlear off whenever you go to the bathroom? I always do haha, What brand cochlear do you have? I’m Med-El :D (also if you use disposable batteries always let them chill for a minute before you put them in your cochlear, it helps prolong battery life! I always pass this on to every cochlear user, surprisingly not many people know)

It does, but at the same time it makes it so fulfilling. Deaf culture is incredibly amazing, one such example is ASL itself! It literally has its OWN GRAMMAR STRUCTURE which is why Deaf people have a hard time with proper English. There are also signs that literally can’t translate to English. And the arts and theatre that come from it is also spectacular! Deafness isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s something to embrace. It’s a part of who they are, and they accept that. It’s their own set of beliefs
