Hi its been a year since my brain injury that caused me to be totally deaf.

The only choices are to get a CI or total deafness and learning ASL.

How is music? That is something I really miss.

Recently a case went down. On April 10, someone called 911 and pretended to be Melendez, falsely reporting an active shooting and a wounded person. This caller was also a hacker and was blackmailing the victim Axeel Melendez. If he didn't pay a ransom, cops would be called.

Melendez called the cops multiple times about the blackmail and that he would be falsely reported/swatted. Operators told him they can't just swat him.

Despite this and deputies knowing beforehand that he was a target for swatting, they arrived at the house believing a violent crime was happening after a call was placed that Melendez's father was shooting the family.

One deputy used a shovel to break Melendez's bedroom window.

Melendez thought an intruder was breaking in. He grabbed his family's legally owned gun to protect his mother and hid behind his bedroom door. Deputies shot him multiple times, causing a severe spinal cord injury.

Now police are facing a 177 million dollar lawsuit
