/earandhearing/wp-content/uploads/sites/754/2018/06/emily-image2.png628627Your journey will not be a smooth ride. You will encounter moments of, "Why did I get a cochlear implant if I can't understand everything." My advice to you would be, just keep going and you'll gain confidence. Keep working at "storing" sounds and voices so you'll be able to understand more things as you move along in your journey. Don't be afraid to reach out to fellow cochlear implant wearers because they will be more than happy to guide you throughout any obstacles or struggles you're currently going through. ~Emily, age 19
