Implanted AgeToddler or PreschoolerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedLeft
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.
Implanted AgeToddler or PreschoolerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedBothWe are Greg and Stephanie Hawkins, and we are the parents of two fantastic kiddos who happen to each have CI’s. Max is 7 and has had his since he was just a year old. Claire is 4 and has had one since she was one, and she received her 2nd when she was 3. The CI has proven to be a life-changing technology for our children. With the CI, even though both of them have a profound hearing loss, they are listening and speaking communicators. That is amazing!!
