I was doing avoiding techniques, for example, I volunteered with a group at the park and avoided sitting with the others as I could not follow the conversations.
I can remember first walking away from the hospital when I got the device and I said to my wife 'Oh aren't those sounds different?' I could hear little kiddies and birds singing!
I used to be known as the whistling paper boy and since I have had my Ponto I am now whistling again and enjoying it!
