Happy 3rd year anniversary of Trisha mistitling me as a ‘professor’. It’s become my daily affirmation - if Trisha believes in me then so do I! 😂 The best part about this is that the title I’d stated beforehand (Dr), has even been used as well! 😔

First audiogram in 2 years and a bit of a shock yesterday. Feeling pretty down and out about this but there’s a plan in place and moulds have been taken. Has anyone changed from domes to moulds? What was this like?

Happy World Hearing Day! This day is supposed to be about raising awareness for hearing loss and hearing care but I thought I’d do something different and celebrate the tech that enables me to do my work. Without this, I would not be able to work in education. #WorldHearingDay
