Hearing the ocean with my processor for the very first time was overwhelming for me. I didn't get the chance to do this last summer with my first implant because the implant failed.
At first the waves seemed so loud because I was standing right in the water. After a few minutes the water became so peaceful to me. I wanted to sit there all night.
I had the perfect night for this moment. There was a clear sky and full moon. I even took an eight minute video so I can listen to the waves over and over again. That night when I came home before bed I listened to the waves again.

Sounds like a perfect moment for you! (pun intended!)
For many people, this is "white noise," the sounds that calm people and help them sleep: rain falling, birds chirping, waves rolling in and out...
My son has a machine that produces these sounds and help him fall asleep.
We don't live anywhere near an ocean, so it is a rare treat for me to enjoy it!
Hi Frieda! It sure was an amazing moment. I uploaded a video since you said you dont live near the ocean :)
I didn't know they make white noise machines.
That must have been an amazing experience. I feel like I've taken advantage of moments like those - the ones that seem simple and taken for granted because I've grown up with them.
