Better Hearing and Speech Month

...and we must say goodbye to May 2011 which many of you know was Better Hearing and Speech Month. Here is a poem written from a cochlear implant recipient Laurie Pullins.


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sounds,
When Cochlear saved these ears of mine!
I fought to hear but now I can,
Was deaf but now I hear!

 
'Twas hearing aids that taught me to hear,
Enough to relieve my fears.
More precious was the world to me
The day new sounds appeared!


My surgeon promised good to me,
Said ears as good as new...
My cochlear implants are my guide and shield,
As long as life endures!


Through many trials, tests, and surgeries
I have already come.
'Tis faith has brought me sounds thus far,
And Cochlear will show me more!

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Still shining in a world of sounds
We've no less days to sing Cochlear's praise
The day we began to hear!

  1. I like the helpful information you provide in your articles. Hearing aids are specialized products, with sales influenced by factors such as rising life expectancy and growing consumer base. A major factor impacting growth is the trend towards miniaturization that has led to the development of hybrid analog/digital devices, which are more advanced than their contemporaries. Demand for audiological devices is likely to increase with addition of more features to current devices. However, lack of reimbursement for all types of hearing aids, with the exception of basic models, remains a stifling issue. Thanks for sharing.
