1. Miss
Kat woke up and did her homework.
(She is attending BYUI with minimal accommodations. She has an FM for her
professors and gets captions on any videos.)
2. Miss Kat had to work in the afternoon. She is a cashier at a local store she
loves.
(She interacts easily with the public. She even had a child with hearing loss
come up to her and point out that they both have hearing devices...something
we did with teens and adults when she was young. Now she is the example!)
3. Miss Kat had Institute. It is like a Bible study for young adults.
(She attends church with the other "young single adults" in the area.
Sometimes she brings her FM for services and when they watch movies she asks
for captions.)
4. When Miss Kat got home, we finished listening to a podcast we had started the
night before.
She has been through three sets of processors, each improving her
hearing and giving her more freedom. She can now hear when she swims and
Bluetooth her phone (and music) directly to her ears. She talks, she sings
(badly!), she loves music, true crime, and everything psychology related. I
don't know where we could be without her CIs but I know for sure it wouldn't be
here.
