 Hi, my name is cello man. I'm from the USA and I have two sonnets The first one I got when I was 12 and the second when I was 14 Growing up I was told that there were these crickets outside my room But I never heard them and then after I got my implants. I remember Going into my room at home for the first time and hearing The crickets and like not knowing what they were But that was that was a wow moment for me to understand there was noise noise in the world That I was missing my whole life my advice if you're starting your own hearing journey would be to learn about Deaf culture and learn about sign language and Implants and just all your options and Really try to talk with so many deaf people to get a lot of Perspectives and then choose what's best for you before I got my implant I wish that as a baby I learned ASL so now I could be fluent I'm okay with sign language, but I wish that I was fluent and had implants at the same time
