Without my hearing devices, I would feel a firetruck siren before hearing it. For independence, I use a vibrating alarm clock to wake up on time, to smoke alarms or alerts. But when traveling with friends - I always let them know how to get me up respectfully if needed! VD: Michelle, hair down, wearing black Tshirt and teal rimmed glasses. Transcription: My name is Michelle and I am profoundly deaf with cochlear implants. When sleeping - nothing will wake me except for light or touch. So when I travel with friends I tell them - that to wake me, please come into my room, turn the light on or touch my arm. #MamaHuHears #Deaf #DHHLife #DeafAlly #Inclusivity #CochlearImplant #DeafAudiologist #What?
