"Growing up I had always been told that #hearingloss was something that needed to be hidden and was told why get bright coloured hearing devices when you can blend them with your skin or hair. I’ve been to 37 Taylor Swift concerts but [the last one] was my first with my #cochlearimplant and processor, so I wanted to do something special! I have been dressing up for concerts forever, and my assistive devices are an extension of me, and they deserve to be worn loud and proud!
"For anyone who wants to do the same I would tell them to go for it - hearing loss and cochlear implants are nothing to be ashamed of and don’t need to be hidden. If you want a bright pink hearing device, go for it! I get way more compliments of people saying they love the colours and bling than I do people being negative. Have a marvelous time hearing everything. :)
