Oh, yeah, I HAVE met someone with a cochlear implant...

Emily (my wife) reminded me today that in late 2007 we went to a winery in Napa and met a bartender who had a cochlear implant. (Note to self: thank God for your wife!)

The memory comes back to me clear as day: this guy was about my age, maybe a little younger, but he was hearing everything we were saying with little or no difficulty. He seemed to relish conversation as if "in his element" and was articulate in his responses, although I know I did not hear as much as Emily did.

I want to be that guy!

Maybe I will...

maybe I will.
