K: Environmental Sounds/Hospital

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I couldn't agree with you more! <smile> I felt much more secure in the

hospital in that I could relax more without always being " on guard. " It was

nice being able to turn my CI on or off depending on the situation. I was

relieved that I didn't have to worry about how my nurses and surgeon would

initiate communication when my CI was off. Thanks to this experience, I now

know that my next hospital stay (which hopefully won't be for a very long

time, if ever!) will be filled with less apprehension due to my inability to

hear!
