There are like two or
three other deaf student,
but they wear hearing aids.
PROFESSOR: Question.
AUDIENCE: How often
do you turn it off--
or how often is it off?
SHEILA: Oh, I turn
it off every night.
[INAUDIBLE] I go to
bed because there's
no point when I go
to sleep, right?
And when I take a
shower or go swimming
or if I want to have
a [INAUDIBLE] day.
On campus sometimes,
I would get so tired
of listening to people,
I would just take it off.
PROFESSOR: Which classes
do you turn it on
and which classes
do you turn it off?
That's OK.
How long does your battery last?
SHEILA: My battery last like 3
or 4 days, disposable battery,
3 or 4 days, but rechargeable
battery it's like one day.
PROFESSOR: And do
you have an implant
on one side only, or both sides?
SHEILA: In my right
ear, it's just one side.
PROFESSOR: Are you going
to get it in the other ear?
SHEILA: I'm not so sure
because it takes time.
I had to go through a surgery,
to see doctors, and so
on, so I'm not sure at that
time because I'm so busy at MIT.
AUDIENCE: What kind of alarm
clock helps you to wake up?
PROFESSOR: Do you
have an alarm clock?
SHEILA: Oh, yes.
I have a special alarm clock.
So I know you guys
use a typical alarm.
They make loud noises.
But for me, I use alarm
clock and a flashing lamp,
so it just flash light on
me that helps to wake me up.
But some other people say
it doesn't work for them,
so what they do, they take
a small vibrator thing
and tuck it under their
pillow or mattress,
