Train the Brain
JB wrote a great note and I think he explains why it is taking me a long time to make the most of the implant.
“Most people do not realize that when you have not been able to hear, the addition of a device to assist in hearing does not give you instant understanding of what you hear. It is always a job to train the brain to assimilate words and sounds. We do not realize what a memory bank of sounds we must build to relate to our environment. It seems so inherent we do not realize what our mind has done for us.”
Right on target!
