This is her story

This is the story of Kairi Yen Nguyen. Kairi was born with severe/total hearing impairment. I am keeping this web log for her so that she and others can share in the journey that her life will have to take with this condition.

One Month and Hearing

It has been over a month since the surgery and close to a month since the activation. Kairi is showing sign of hearing.

The last appointment at the audiologist, Kairi was put in the sound booth. The first word that the audi spoke into the microphone... Kairi turned her head in all directions looking for the source. :-)

What can she hear?
- She is afraid of the vacuum cleaner now. So she can hear that.
- She can hear firecrackers. She turns to the noise and points at the lights.
- She dances to music.

There are a lot of instances where she demonstrates that she can hear something. Every week that goes by we notice it more and more.
