We visited a place called Temple Square by our house that has the most beautiful light displays at Christmas time. We tried to pick the warmest night of the week as it can get might chilly at night here at our place.
Since it was night time, we all had thermals, gloves and hats on to ward off the cold. Chance had his coat hat pulled snug around his face and velcroed on the sides of his collar. His mouth was mostly covered leaving just his eyes and nose exposed to the cold.
We are never sure what Chance's implants being covered like this, do to his hearing. Like any of us, his hearing is diminished when his ears are completely covered by a hat.
As we walked from the parking lot to the temple grounds, we passed some exuberant people just leaving. There were three of them and as they passed us, they were singing, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". Chance turned to me and said, "They are singing, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas!" He had learned that song in school for a concert.
I was kind of surprised that he could make out the song in his bundled up state, the singers were not singing that loud. But then again, Chance continues to surprise and delight us with what he is hearing.

With hearing aids, I hated the winter because the minute I stepped outside my hearing aids would transform sounds into awful dull rubbish. I couldn't wear ear muffs because it would cause feedback and then everyone would look at me. However with the CI, this does not happen! In fact when the CI is covered up, it acts like a wind screen allowing sounds to come through a little clearer. Cool isn't it? :)
