ABSTRACT: Being hearinq-impaired in everyday life can be a challenge in itself; however, when I started at my current job I found the staff were fascinated by my implant. To me, my implant is a normal part of my life and quite often I forqet that other people may have questions about how I hear compared to them. I thought I would try and answer a few of these questions on behalf of some of the other hearinq-impaired Veterinary Nurses I have communicated with. Hopefully it will give some insight into how some VNs deal with being in practice.
