Because of this, Peng didn\u2019t have someone who he could turn to for advice or relate to. However due to his own experience, Peng started the CI project which connects CI users on sharing their experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-5868 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance-719x719.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance-719x719.png 719w, https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance-448x448.png 448w, https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-CI-Project-Self-Acceptance.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As a CI user, Kaelan, one of the podcast\u2019s hosts shared with us her thoughts on making episode 4:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As a CI user, I personally have related to Peng\u2019s experience of feeling alone because of my differences from my peers as hearing loss something that is not relatable between us. Previously, I had restricted myself from talking about my hearing loss with others because it felt uncomfortable trying to explain my experiences to people without a hearing loss. For a long time, I felt like I had tried to hide that part of my identity. However, over the years I have found that by being open about my hearing loss, I have found myself a strong support system of friends and family who want to, and are willing to, learn more about my needs or issues. This personal experience has taught me that by accepting yourself, it opens doors to more opportunities and experiences. This is why I think Peng&#8217;s project is CI important for people with hearing losses as it allows them to connect with others on issues that may be unique to them. This will help CI users feel connected rather than that sense of loneliness. It also allows them accept their CIs as part of them, rather than try to blend into the background leading towards a journey of self-growth and acceptance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Explore the difference between CI and hearing aids, what it means to have a CI user, and discuss the desire for \u201cnormalcy,\u2019\u2019 versus the journey to self-acceptance by watching\/listening to the episode<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/m6G-P8yH8x0\"> here. <\/a><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nD\u00e9sol\u00e9, cet article est seulement disponible en Anglais Am\u00e9ricain.
