🦻🌍 Happy International Cochlear Implant Day ‼️ I have attached two pictures to show both sides of my head wearing a single Cochlear Implant(CI) processor. This has caused much confusion as the way I wear my CI is completely different as to how you would see it normally. Normally the processor and magnet part of the CI would sit on the same side of the head. Some people have asked me if I do this on purpose for better hearing or as some sort of fashion statement. 
➡️ Here is the real story: 
I had a falling accident onto my CI as a toddler and as result needed skin behind my right ear for skingraft to save my CI. So as a result I don't have skin behind my right ear for the processor to sit on. A lengthened custom made cord was made so that the processor can sit on my left ear. So that is why you don't see the magnet and the processor at the same time. My magnet sits on the right and my processor on the left. 
Despite my falling accident my surgically implanted part of the CI has so far served me for almost 29 years and still going strong! My CI is the light in my life and my close and trusted friend that I am so thankful for. So again, thank you Graeme Clark for being such a powerhouse in the invention and progress of the Cochlear Implant. Thanks to you, today me and millions of CI users worldwide feel blessed with the joy of sound! 🥰🙏🎶

Just a little appreciation post to that tiny little magic magnet on my head known as the Cochlear Implant(CI). It has faithfully served me without fail for 28 YEARS and still going strong! It still blows my mind that this piece of technology proves to be so resilient despite its "age". Everyday I am thankful for the magic of the sound it produces for me and how with it I have been able to acheived heights in my dance career that few though possible. 🙏🏻💓

I have chosen to extract a few of my favourite moments to remind us of our strength during this difficult time. May you again seek and rediscover who you have always meant to be. May this journey, however difficult at first, reshape you so that when you look back you do so with a full and grateful heart. 🙏🏻💛
