Mission Statement
The Online Community and The Listening Room at HearingJourney.com is sponsored by Advanced Bionics to provide cochlear implant candidates and their loved ones accurate, timely, and reliable educational information about the Harmony™ HiResolution Bionic Ear as well as rehabilitation materials. In keeping with our commitment to a lifetime partnership, the Online Community exists to provide a warm, supportive, and nurturing community for all users of Advanced Bionics cochlear implants. The Listening Room provides activities and resources to support the development of oral language and listening skills to children and adults with hearing loss.
Registration Information
To access the Online Community or The Listening Room, you must register as a member. This registration is free of charge. By registering, you agree to abide by the Guidelines for HearingJourney.com.
1) When you register, you must choose a unique user name or "handle" and you must provide a unique, valid e-mail address. Duplicate user names and e-mail addresses are not allowed, so if the name or address you enter is already in use, you will be prompted to choose another one.

Once you have received your password, you may edit your profile to change it to one of your choice. You may also change the e-mail address in your profile. Entering an invalid e-mail address will cause your user name to become unusable by anyone, INCLUDING YOURSELF, until the information in your account is manually corrected by a moderator or administrator.
