Let the good sounds ring : )

June is now activated! Last Thursday, her cochlear implant was activated! The process of June beginning to hear will take some time as her brain makes sense of the sounds around her. We are not sure yet how much she is hearing or will be able to hear but the journey has begun! She did not cry or seem overly happy when the implant was activated which we think is typical. She did have a little look in her eye that something was different but seemed to play and interact as usual. We will continue to use sign language with her and will see how she progresses with listening, speaking, and signing! As we have learned, she is the driver of this journey, we just take her lead and support her as best we can! She continues to amaze me, just love this little girl so much!

June’s cochlear implant was activated just minutes before this video was taken.

  1. Wow, that is so amazing! I can’t even begin to imagine what it is like for her to start to hear sound! What an adjustment that will be, but will hopefully open up a whole new world to her over time! Glad it went smoothly. Thanks so much for the update! (PS I couldn’t see the video?)
