    Fun fact about how the brain deals with a lack of sound. It uses the part of the brain that normally handles sound for something else.

    My wife has a cochlear implant fitted in her adult hood. Certain sounds triggered responses or feelings in different parts of her body.

    For example, rubbing my hands together to make a swishing sound was very uncomfortable for a time and made her feet tickle.
