A Heartwarming Moment
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008
Last week I walked into the office to witness one of those personal heartwarming moments that reminds me of why I went into hearing restortion surgery. One of our cochlear implant patients was in the office playing his violin. He had learned the instrument years ago as a child but had given it up when his hearing failed. He was cast into “musical darkness” for many years until he received his cochlear implants. The question I had was whether he was tuning his violin with his cochlear implants or his cochlear implants with his violin. “Both” he said.
