Laura's most recent post is a helpful list of the pros and cons of her cochlear implant. Among the pros, she lists that she can listen to music, hear her family and friends' voices, hear the TV without looking at the screen and hear birdsong and rain.
She also explains that she can tell the difference in people's accents.
Laura lists the cons as being able to hear background noise and hearing the roar of her car engine when she's driving on the motorway.
We featured Laura's story on the DeafBlog in a five part diary series, and have since been following her experience on her own blog. (http://lozsmedicaljourney.blogspot.com)
