My new hearing aid tattoo

[kestrell]

Thanks to David who originally said, "You don't own it until you alter it," and to Alexx for making the tat sticker, and to Carla for the comics.

The tat is actually a very small sticker with the finder glyph from the graphic novel Finder (yes, this is another prosthetic mod based on a graphic novel featuring a character with shapeshifter abilities).

I love the fans idea--perhaps I will point it out to the Readercon folks, who are very dedicated to access issues (this year Readercon even had a blue zone).

I think the confidence issue is going to take a while, in part because the computer chip has probably only just attained it's default volume (it's programmed to gain volume over a number of weeks), but also because sounds don't sound just like they do with biological ears, so I'm still learning to identify sounds, judge distances, and prioritize importance. It's nowhere near the learning curve for understanding TTS, but it is a learning process.
