Hi, I’m Zedric Wong! 👋

I’m currently a high school senior, and I’ve been playing the violin since I was 7 years old (and studying in the San Francisco Conservatory of Music's pre-college program since I was 10). Music has always shaped how I understand sound, but it also made me realize how much we take hearing for granted.

As a hearing person, I used to think cochlear implants were replacements or a device that could restore hearing. However, once I learned how a CI works and given a small sample of what the world sounds like to the user, I knew I wanted to help others in the hearing community understand. I built this space to raise awareness of the challenges of the CI and help the hearing community understand the 2 different communities and become genuinely mindful, inclusive allies.
