To say that my hearing loss cut me off at the knees is an understatement. Sometimes I forget how bad it was before my cochlear implant. Career-ending, it was. But I lived through it.

  1. Since I started following you quite recently I don’t know if you have ever written more about the implants. I didn’t even realize they were used for adults. I would like to learn more about your experience.

    • I’ve written a lot about hearing loss. I will post some links to earlier posts. It’s been a big deal for me – the cochlear implant was a major, major lifesaver.

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.
