Life goes on
Until my decision in July 2019 I had the attitude that I was listening well enough. Until then I hadn’t noticed that friends and family talked to me less and less. But objectively that’s how it is. Since my decision I have been increasingly concerned with myself I read every conceivable article on the subject of CI I no longer notice when my loved ones are doing badly.
And yet my relatives are glad that I have finally dared to take this step. In retrospect I have to say that I am very grateful that my family and closest friends have given me an incredible amount of understanding over the years and, right now, with my single sided deafness, they also care about how best to place myself with them. After everything I’ve read in the past few months this is anything but self-evident because my few work colleagues also help me to deal with the new listening situation.
Now it’s up to me to get the best out of it and to practice well.
