Hearing Hardware
C-Note’s father is a project manager in the medical device industry. Having worked with non-powered implants and disposables, he is extremely particular about the technology used on his little girl. Furthermore, product traceability and minimally invasive surgical options are also very important to him. As time allows, he will eagerly be expanding this section. For now, this is a quick list of some of the high-dollar devices accumulating within the home.

"Hi. I'm Carina. What's your name?"
That's usually the first thing you hear when C-Note sees you. Her favorite past times are meeting new friends, hosting real and imaginary parties, and drawing pictures of everyone and everything, yourself included.
As C-Note's father, I stand in complete amazement of this young lady, who God has chosen to complete our family. As an adopted child with a hearing impairment, she experiences levels of joy that surpasses many who do not face similar challenges. A spunky kind of girl, she has also been affectionately nicknamed Wiggly, Jumping Jelly Bean, Wii Girl, and of course, our precious C-Note.
