Sheiladawn F.
Nucleus® Kanso™ 2 Sound Processor – Unilateral
A quick summary about Sheiladawn F.
- I lost my hearing overnight
- I overcame feelings of isolation from my Cochlear™ implant
- I proudly named my sound processor
I lost my hearing overnight in 2003 due to an infection I contracted from an airbag. I felt so much frustration, exclusion and isolation due to only being able to communicate by reading lips. That all ended when I made the decision in 2010 to get my Cochlear™ Implant, which I call “Gracee” (YES, I named it). It has been such a blessing for me. My passion is helping people, so I share my experience with as many people as I can, and honestly, I can say I do that at least once a week.
In 2017 I became a registered private investigator in Texas. Besides helping others in their hearing journey, I love to travel and shop.
