I can’t hide from my husband anymore. He hears me in the kitchen when I’m “banging around” in there. He hears me in the bathroom. He hears me coming down the stairs even though there is carpet on the stairs. Last night as I was watching television he teased me saying it was too loud and turn it down. My hearing has been tested and it’s better than average (so I was told). He seems to hear better than I do now and he loves it (the fact that he hears better).
Today after church he complained because he thought it was too noisy during the passing of the Sacrament. He said it sounded like a chorus. I guess I have become so use to hearing children in church, they seem quiet to me during Sacrament. He said he could hear a baby crying but could not see where it was coming from.
I do not know exactly how the cochlear implant works inside his head. I do know from what he tells me that it is easier for him to detect various sounds when there is little to no background noise, which is probably why he can hear me so well in the house. The cats don’t make any noise.
Welcome to the world of sounds, dear.
