Hello HJ Community! You may have noticed that our HJ Moderators have become more active on the online community, so we wanted to introduce them and make sure you know who they are and how they can help you!
HJ Forum Moderators are AB Community mentors who support the HJ online community on a regular basis. They welcome and assist new members, share experiences, encourage discussion about life with cochlear implants, ensure that members are following community guidelines, and alert AB to sensitive and urgent issues.
If you have questions about the online community or need support, don't hesitate to reach out to our moderators by sending a private message to Michael, CIBlue, or Emmy (click on their username and then hit "Message").
Emmy Cartwright is back as our newest HJ Forum Moderator, and we are so happy to welcome her to the site.
You may also email hear@advancedbionics.com to connect with our team of Outreach Specialists.

The HJ now has the perfect moderators to actively promote and add to the many discussions regarding AB CIs. Personal experience and expertise matters!
Well done Michael and CIBlue!
Just wanted to share a huge thank you to Michael and CIBlue for the warm welcome this week. I've participated in many online forums over the years, and this experience has been wonderful.

@cbh @amonkie I agree 100% 👋. This HJ Forum has been a godsend for me with my CI journey. Unfortunately we don't say "thank you" enough or loud enough for those AB Moderators who keep us headed in the right direction. Thank you, Michael and CIBlue.

@moshe1436 And thank YOU for coming by to help others by sharing your experience and advice! :-)
Late-deafened, hereditary progressive sensorineural hearing loss.
2008 recipient; implanted asynchronously in June and December. My left ear went from 15% word comprehension before surgery to 95% on activation day. It's why I say "I got my life back" thanks to CIs and AB's technology!
