Lucas was born with profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss to two hearing parents. He wore hearing aids starting at 3 months, but he got no benefit from them, as we soon found out. He received a cochlear implant in his right ear 3 days after his first birthday. His second ear was implanted 1 month before his third birthday. Cochlear implants have changed Lucas's life immensely. This site was developed to chronicle his life and progress learning to listen and speak!
mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, in-law, friend, traveler, teacher, advocate, therapist, polyglot... that about sums things up! Just trying to figure out this thing called life...
