awareness and safety

[Guest guest]

's comment about safety made me think about something that has struck me

from time to time since I got activated. Prior to the CI I didn't think twice,

really about hearing and safety. Well that is not entirely true, I was very

aware of the important of using my vision to make up for my deafness (which may

not be an option depending on degree of blindness, of course). My point is that

now, if I go out to the end of the apartment complex w/o my CI to take out the

trash or whatever (I need to take a break in the evening sometimes, from all

that sound after a long day of talking to clients!) and I'm acutely aware that I

do not have access to all the information.

Nothing new under the sun here, just an observation.

Thanks for a safety tip with regard to CI. You gave this one

some

time ago. When I and my dog guide were out walking, one CI gave a warning

beep and then silence. I remembered you saying after a few minutes to turn

on the CI again with the drained batteries. Presto! I had enough CI hearing

to last me til I got home safely. Thanks!
