 Hello and welcome to Rehab at Home with Medell. In our last episode you met Trudy and her family. In this episode we will hear about Trudy's early experiences learning to understand conversation with her cochlear implant. And we'll see an activity you can do at home to help. When I had my cochlear implant, I started to notice that they were more reliant on listening. They looked really like they had gotten a little bit easier. The more I practiced with my listening, the sound had gotten a little bit better, started to become more clearer. When I watched TV with some titles, I learned to listen, to follow the words, to make a connection. That's how I practice. Lots of practice. In English, my colour wouldn't have to pink. Blue please. I pink red. You ready? Yes. You can't look at my face. That as well. It's for mum. Let mum into first. Australia. Australia. Japan. Japan. Spain. Can you tell dad a go please? Spain. Spain. It was well. If you once had good hearing, your brain will have a memory of what speech sounds like. This makes it easier for you to learn to understand conversation with your cochlear implant. If you are like Trudy and hearing all of the sounds in speech for the first time, it can take longer because your brain has much more to learn. Either way, it's important to find a friend or family member who's willing to help you develop your listening skills. Trudy shared how Reese and Indy helped her develop her understanding of speech. And they showed us how to practice listening using the activity from the MED-EL adult rehabilitation kits. You can download these for free from our MED-EL blog. You'll find a link in the description of this video. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to the MED-EL blog to get all of the latest Rehab at Home videos straight to your inbox.
