I have a SoundBridge Implant it’s very similar to a Cochlear Implant, same concept, the outside device attaches to a device in my head via magnet (no one knows what those things do, am I right?) if I drop it, the outside panel flies off, like, “Fine. Clearly you don’t deserve me. Asshole.”

Ask me anything you want about ears & cochlear implants. Lol.
I know nothing about the law. Although I've learned quite a bit since Trump came on the scene in what seems like forever ago.

I never posted these chibis I think. Some of my blorbos!
Four chibi pen drawings of different women, labeled with their names. From left to right: Safiya, smiling in a casual waving pose. She has loose curls, a long nose, poliosis on her forehead, and two cochlear implants. She has small tattoos on her arms of a stamp, a match, a safety pin, and an eye, and a small fishbone on her ankle. She wears a cropped short sleek hoodie, long square jeans, and sneakers. Below her is a close up of her hands for the tattoo details; she has stars on her knuckles and little abstract designs on 3 fingers. Reyna, in a serious in a dancer-like pose. She has small cornrows, various moles, and a wide nose. She wears a bralette, sweatpants, slip-on sneakers, and a necklace. Esperanza, smiling in a standing pose. She has vilitigo, a split-dyed afro with bangs, and a wide nose. She’s wearing a poofy-sleeved dress with ruffles, moth earrings, a necklace, frilly socks, and chunky Mary Jane heels. Marina, serious in a thinking pose. She has short wavy bobbed hair with thick bangs, monolid eyes, and a wide nose; she also has a ghost tattoo on her arm and a Bigfoot tattoo on her calf. She’s wearing a mothman t-shirt, a long pleated skirt, and low converse sneakers.

No inductive loop option, the one that was surely fitted there years ago. And I imagine that’s the one cochlear implants use? (Forgive ignorance) it’s just staggering they spent thousands setting this up then couldn’t be bothered to do a short paragraph on their website so you can use it.

In all seriousness, why would he announce it, rather than just go to an ENT and take care of it??? I mean, I'm sure he has good enough insurance to get a fancy pair of hearing aids, or the cochlear implants.

Emma Walker said hearing aids should be treated the same as cochlear implants when it comes to insurance coverage.

“If insurance covers cochlear implants because they help your hearing, I think it should be the same for hearing aids,” she said.

I had a conversation with a man in the dog park here in Edmonton about his new cochlear implant and how excited he was.
Then he goes, "did you stay up to watch the Jays last night?"
We had both watched all 18 innings.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

And, I cannot emphasize this enough, I am in a city *3000 km from Toronto*

The cover of The Girl With The Crooked Smile. The title is in gold with "crooked" in large white lettering. A cartoon image of the main character, Lana—a young girl with long brown hair, a cochlear implant, bright eyes, a crooked smile, and a grey shirt. She's raising her hands triumphantly, and sparkly streams of light emanate from her palms. The authors' names (Sarah Tubert, Katelyn Brooke) are at the bottom on either side of Lana.

Too many people receive life changing implants that then need to get ripped out because only one company served that niche and it FUCKING DIED.

People who have brain implants that prevent seizures being forced back to a worse standard and people losing cochlear implants. It's disgusting.
