Many people wonder what it is like to hear with a cochlear implant. It is very difficult to explain because my interpretation of sound is different from yours. The way you describe the way a dog barks or what dripping water sounds like. My music sounds different from yours. I cannot pick out specific instruments out well. I am also tone-deaf. My theory for this is that I sing what I think the music sounds like. To me, I sound like I have a good voice, because I am matching what I hear. However, to everyone else, my voice sounds off key, because what I hear is off key.
This is a very difficult topic to explain to others.
The following link is a website that gives examples of different levels of cochlear implants and what voices and music sounds like to them.
