Okay, so as many of you know I'm deaf. On the 15th of June my life will change for forever. I will be having an operation in which they will surgically implant an electronic device into my head.

This is a brief of the surgery- The device is surgically implanted under a general anaesthetic, and the operation usually takes from 1½ to 5 hours. First a small area of the scalp directly behind the ear is shaven and cleaned. Then a small incision is made in the skin just behind the ear and the surgeon drills into the mastoid bone and the inner ear where the electrode array is inserted into the cochlea. The patient normally goes home the same day as the surgery, although some cochlear implant recipients stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. After 1–4 weeks of healing the implant is turned on or activated.

So hopely it works.
