Hello everyone, I haven't been here for some couples of years maybe and I've stopped listening to Coldplay when I stopped coming here. The reason was as simple as sad: I've lost my hearing since I've been born. Last year I lost it completely.

Well I am still alive and I had only one chance left not to go crazy: getting an Implant. Long story short I got one two months ago and I made great and quick success in training my hearing again. A C…
