Appointment with the ENT surgeon went well this morning. Everything healing as it should and cleared for the bionic ear turn on tomorrow.

Here it is, my bionic ear. The black piece in the centre, which is the magnet, will be replaced with a grey one next week.

When they turned it on it showed as a 100% successful implant. I am able to hear sounds but at this stage they all sound like a Latin American tin drum band.

Going to take months to teach it to decipher voice sounds.

I have lots of homework.

Nah, no need. A lot of women with long hair have a cochlear. Most tuck it in underneath.

I am forever the gadgets man and this afternoon was thinking the best way to charge the batteries when off grid in the motorhome.

Found this USB Charger on the Cochlear Website.

Seems they have thought of everything. Grin
