  • Drummer with Baha Implant

    Would love to get in touch with Brea! I’m a deaf rudimental drummer with a baha cochlear implant on the right ear and waiting to get the Cochlear Osia implant on my left ear. I use a combination of visual and feel to help me with my drumming. If she would like to reach out to me, my social media page is 22q Warrior Drummer page on Facebook. I’m also interested in the music therapy work. Thanks. Peter.
