Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSlowly ProgressiveImplantedBothWhen hearing aids no longer worked for me, and I could no longer use the phone or understand conversation, I thought my life was over. After the CI, life was better than ever! Today, my hearing is a gift that I enjoy and treasure every day! I am so grateful to my CI center and Advanced Bionics!
Implanted AgeInfant or Young ToddlerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedBothI am a proud parent of a Bilaterally implanted extremely talkative little toddler! My son, Aarav recieved his first implant at 16 months in 2012 and his second bilateral implant in 2015. We have come a long way from being told that our little baby would never speak to now being told to ask him to stop talking !! Loving every moment of the journey.
