Welcome
I'm a 30-something year old girl originally from upstate NY and now living in central Virginia. My background is in mechanical engineering and I worked full time as an engineer for 8 years. In 2010 I quit my job and started a laser engraving business.
I lost my hearing at age 14 and have been using hearing aids since then. In April 2009 I received my first cochlear implant. That went really well so in December 2009 I got the second. The CIs are what prompted me to start writing publicly - but I try to cover other things as well.

That reminds me, I need to scan or take a picture of my most recent audiogram from a couple of weeks ago. Instead of being “slight to severe” I’m now “mild to severe” with most of it being mild and then a very huge plummet at 6kHz.
Meredith’s last blog post:
Meredith, is your ski-slope hearing loss due to noise, ototoxic drugs, or other?
Tweet me on Twitter at @Dan_Schwartz & I’ll follow back; or email to Dan@Snip.Net
i uploaded the info from my latest audiogram, which was a long time ago, apparently. guess i need a new one soon.
