Chance gets in ipod

Reflecting upon Chance's love for music, his desire to sing, and his willingness to learn new songs, we came up with a brilliant idea. Why not get Chance an ipod and put songs he wishes to learn, or songs that he will be exposed to at church etc. on an ipod so he can have lots of extra exposure to them?!
Chance was not expecting an ipod so he was truly delighted when we handed him one. He was pretty excited about putting songs he was trying to learn on it too.
Chance likes to put on his ipod while he does his jobs around the house and cleans his bedroom.
He does not use earphones of course as you have to have a working cochlea for that to be effective. No, Chance uses a NoiZfree telecoil adapter. This just hooks over his implants and sends an electromagnetic signal directly to his processor. We have had many comical moments around the house as Chance uses his ipod. He switches the setting on his implant when he is wearing his ipod and he can not hear us. So, we call, and we talk to him and Chance just goes about his business listening to music blissfully unaware of our attentions. I have to remind his siblings that he can not hear them, so they can stop attempting to convince him to look at them or tell him something.
The other day, after I had just told Chance something, I called him back because I remembered something else I needed to tell him. Chance had just put his ipod on, so he could not hear me.
"Tap Chance to get his attention." I told his brother as he walked by.
Chances brother reached out to touch Chance, but he was leaning way over and ended up touching Chance harder than he planned.
Chance was stepping over something at the time so one of his feet was in the air. Thus the touch caused Chance to fall over onto the floor. He was understandably quite shocked to find himself on the floor and initially accused his brother of pushing him. It was quite a pathetic sight, Chance, who is not hearing anything laying on the floor a mix of surprise, hurt, and accusation on his face.
I explained to him that his brother had not meant to knock him over and that I had asked him to tap him. It just turned out to be more of a tap due to circumstances.
There is a setting on the implant that allows Chance to hear both the music and the things around him, but it splits the hearing. Part music, part surroundings. Chance does not like this setting as well though. He will use it, but he says that he prefers to be able to have all of his hearing going to the music. What? And miss out on the beauty of our voices?
Oh well. Chance is really enjoying the ipod and is delighted to have songs on it that he wants to learn better.
