The High Heat Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Very touching. I hope her husband put on some Wilco for her in the car on the ride home; Remember the Mountain Bed or the like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well, not necessarily Wilco, but I REALLY want to know what the first music she heard. That's a video I'd love to see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well, she missed hearing the 80s. And that's a good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 She has a blog: http://sarahchurman.blogspot.com/ Really interesting. It seems that she could hear a little before with hearing aids, but nothing like she can now. Matt, she does mention this from the first day her device was turned on: "Oh, and on a sidenote.........Lady Gaga sounds horrible on the radio! Just sayin." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Cool video. Serious ink on her arm, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I kinda envy her in the sense she gets to remember everything she hears for the first time, things we take for granted: birds, music, laughter, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I kinda envy her in the sense she gets to remember everything she hears for the first time, things we take for granted: birds, music, laughter, etc. Beatles, Led Zeppelin! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for Posting the Blog Preferred B!This is a Warm Funny Spiriritual Individual... Below is a Paste from here Blog (the Moment She first turns on the Device ) Then came time to turn it on......I kept moving the remote (I have a remote! I'm part cyborg according to Sloan.......all cyborgs have an on and off button right?!?) Anyway, I'm supposed to hold the remote up to the device implanted in my skull to activate it and I kept moving it which delayed it being turned on. Just about fainted, then 'viola!' it was on. For you mothers out there.......it was like that moment where time stands still as your baby slips into this world.......I just started crying, then crying more because I could hear myself crying. Then laughing, then freaking out over my laugh. That lead to the shakes and partial hyperventillating. Sloan's boisterous laugh and the grins from the docs was the icing on the cake. Then the tapping of the keys as the nurse lady did something on the computer, followed by the remote being set down on the counter.......I could HEAR it!!! Felt like quite the idiot as I left the center (OMG, Sloan just sneezed in the shower, too funny!) grinning ear to ear.........worse case of 'perma-grin' I've ever had!
