Silent Sail: Austria July 2010
http://charlotte-silentsail.blogspot.com/2010/08/austria-july-2010.html
Charlotte's Journey with Cochlear Implant. Friday, 6 August 2010. We went blueberry picking whilst my dad went mushroom hunting, I heard the waterfalls. We had a dog staying for the weekend, I took him for a walk through long grassed fields and I heard a lot of noise! It was the crickets and there was A LOT of them leaping out as we walked through the grass. It's 2 and half hours drive which is not ideal for daily trips to the beach! And it's not far from Venice. I loved listening to her! Realising that ...

Charlotte's Journey with Cochlear Implant. Friday, 1 January 2010. 2010 and reflection of 2000's. Goodness me the last 10 years had gone so quick,. It wasn't that long after I left 16 years of full time education (12 in school and 4in College). Went on first ever solo holiday in San Francisco and Los Angeles! Visited deaf schools in Boston and Wellington telling them about my experiences. Got job in the sailing industry and loved it. I took my best friend who never had holiday without her family on memor...

Charlotte's Journey with Cochlear Implant. Wednesday, 4 November 2009. It had been long time since my last blog. I cannot believe it I was so anxious and my mind went completely blank! I could do it but it's trying to keeping me calm and confident for it! I would expect replies of "I am fine, thank you, or I am okay" those kind of words but if a person on other end asks me a question totally out of ransom my mind will go blank and I would panic! Sp), I have never read it, I just know it's about a solider...

Silent Sail: A new Hearing aid
http://charlotte-silentsail.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-hearing-aid.html
Charlotte's Journey with Cochlear Implant. Wednesday, 30 June 2010. A new Hearing aid. I went weeks without realising that the battery were dead and thats when I took my CI off to change the battery! I didn't like it at first but I knew if I waited and got used to it then it might be worth it. I am glad I did, after 3 weeks of helium sounds it finally the sounds became more sense! Today I heard some strange noises and couldn't work it out until I realised it was the battery dying on my hearing aid! It is...

Charlotte's Journey with Cochlear Implant. Friday, 6 August 2010. After 10 years break and finally found a climbing buddy who happen to be deaf, under assessment for the cochlear implant, she lives quite far away but will be in my city for few months, I geared up for first climb, in a very long time, and put my spare rechargeable battery in my shorts "just in case". I tackled the walls fairly quickly and were 6a plus within an hour! It was just like riding bike again after long break! We went blueberry p...

Charlotte's Journey with Cochlear Implant. Tuesday, 14 December 2010. Rachel's visit and Snow. Rachel Chaikof, creator of Cochlear Implant Online, She comes from Boston, USA and is currently studying in London. She was in awe! The next morning, I got couple of inches and couldn't go anywhere! Most of the roads were snowed over. Since I live in hilly area, it would be sucidial to drive on untreated roads and I didn't have any snow chains. Amazingly he found them everytime, his sense of smell is incredible!
