A guide for swimming with cochlear implants.
Vacation is the most marvelous time in the whole year, but an audio processor is also a marvel… of technology!

I am a mom. If you are too you surely know how challenging it is.I am a mom of a deaf child. That’s a one-level-up challenge. My second daughter, Helena, was born in 2012. I clearly remember the day when she was undergoing a mandatory hearing test in the hospital and the device kept displaying: TO BE CHECKED.
When, after giving birth to my little girl, I got to know she’s deaf my life lapsed. I couldn’t face up to this, I didn’t believe the final diagnosis, I didn’t want to listen to anything that the doctor was saying to me.
