Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSince BirthImplantedLeftHi, I am Ita Carroll, i was 30 years fighting deafness, and then went profoundly deaf. My whole world fell apart. I was referred to the national CI in Dublin Who implanted the Advanced Bionic CI into each ear, which gave me my life back again. My friends call me the bionic woman. My objective now is to mentor other people on the same hearing journey, to help you hear again.
Implanted AgeOlder AdultHearing LossSlowly ProgressiveImplantedBothI’m a late deafened man approaching retirement who spent almost 20 years dealing with slow progressive hearing loss until my audi finally told me she had no more powerful hearing aids, that my insurance no longer covered HA, but that I seemed to be a candidate for CI. I’m now a bilateral CI user having the right ear implanted on 08/29/13 and the left ear done on 04/04/14.
