  Hearing LossSince Birth

  ImplantedBoth

  I was born hard-of-hearing in both ears and wore hearing aids up until I was 21 years old. I totally lost my hearing suddenly in my right ear and for 30 years, relied solely on my left ear with it having about 65% hearing ability. I received my first implant in my right ear in 2005 and then got my left ear implanted in December of 2016. It is a truly amazing experience in hearing things for the first time and discovering new sounds and learning to identify them.

  I began to lose my hearing in high school. After wearing hearing aids for 30 years I can now dare to dream again and those dreams are coming true!! My CI has given me many "wow" moments and they just keep coming!
