- Implanted AgeToddler or PreschoolerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedBothI am the proud father of Karunya who is a bilateral implantee. We came to know that she has severe-to-profound hearing loss in both ears when she was 15 months old. We decided to go for the first CI in 2014 for the right ear after observing poor response on using Behind-The-Ear hearing aids. She first got her harmony and carried on very well, showing good progress, hence our Audiologist suggested for a second Implant which was done in April 2016. We further upgraded it to Q90 for both years.
