I just found your blog through Deaf Village. . . and wanted to chime in about the music. . .<BR/><BR/>I have LOVED music for all of my life even though I didn't "hear" it like normal hearing people do. Have Courtney feel the beat and rhythm with her hands on the speakers (turn them all the way up! ) :) Or have her wear headphones with her hearing aids.<BR/><BR/>Courtney's loss is very similar to mine. I have a severe/profound hearing loss in both ears and probably heard around 70db with my hearing aids. Am a proficient lipreader and never learned to sign. I now hear in the 20db range with both of my CI's and love it! I'm amazed at the advances of technology. Courtney will do great because she has such a wonderful support system. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to reading more about your journey. Nice to meet you all!<BR/><BR/>Laurie in TNLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985952566947294158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833422518935815224.post-35258378993776555082008-08-25T19:50:00.000-05:002008-08-25T19:50:00.000-05:00WOW!!!

I just found your blog and wanted to say good ...Hi. I just found your blog and wanted to say good luck with the surgery - we'll be praying for little Courtney. Our youngest received bilaterals in October so if you have any questions please feel free to email and we'll help if we can. We're not sure what "music" he hears since he's not yet 2 but he can definitely tell the difference between just sound and music. Anytime music comes on the t.v. he starts dancing and loves it. I have also heard from several families whose kids play instruments so she will be able to enjoy music with you. We have pictures after his surgery and his activation video on his blog if you want to check it out. http://www.buzzsjourney.blogspot.com<BR/>Jen<BR/>pxedst21@yahoo.comLandon's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155992006174013175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833422518935815224.post-15782287059137755302008-08-25T14:24:00.000-05:002008-08-25T14:24:00.000-05:00But she WILL hear music!

Hang in there, I COMPLETELY understand how you feel.Melanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/10523026102207613431noreply@blogger.com
