Nice you can hear but like me, you are still deaf no matter what. I strongly encourage you to learn sign language and deaf culture, and meet other deaf people.

i am getting the cochliar implant in my right ear in 5 days, this made me feel a little better, thank you, and it is very catchy

[kirbygirrl]

Thank you for doing this video! You were all excellent. My son has bilateral cochlear implants and it's great that there are voices out their to show that he can and needs to be proud of himself and his ears.

I like how they tell that even though people are a little different they are glad

they can hear.

[TheJmp2005]

Wow! Thanks kids for the gift of your message and your song. My son is 4 and he has bilateral CI's. I can't wait to share it with my son. God Bless you all.

Which company made your hearing aids, and you ever not covered them with your hair? What made you decide to do so?

[HearingExchange]

She wears cochlear implants from Cochlear. She always wore ponytails and braids as a young child when she wore hearing aids and then later, her cochlear implants. As she entered her tween and teen years, the girls hairstyles matured to long and straight. Thus, her cochlear implant processors are usually covered only because she wears her hair down, not because she hides them. Everyone around her is aware she has them. She's very confident and straight-forward about them.

Terrific, original video! Love it!
