Two cochlear implants or one? At the movies.

It has occurred to me that I have only ever watched kids movies at the theatre since going deaf. Kids movies are easy to follow and after attempting to watch an adult movie the other day I realised that I wasn't really hearing as much as I thought I was. I went to see The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and tried listening to it with two ears, then one. Neither was very successful so I was a little disappointed. Oh well, back to the kids movies at the theatre and adults movies on DVD.

Cochlear Friendly Fashion

Yes, you read the title correctly. I have been searching for a fashionable hat (it's very sunny in Perth) that doesn't knock my magnet coil off whenever I put it on and I have now found the answer with this:


It's one of those caps without the top part, a tennis cap if you will. It works perfectly as the processor cord sits over the hat band, yay, sun protection is taken care of, yay, and it doesn't look too bad, double yay!
