Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSuddenImplantedBothAs a person who has a very long termed deafness, waking up deaf one morning at age 17,and spending 31 years in silence (no hearing aid), I have had tremendous success with my CI! Getting back music in such a high quality way boggles my mind and even after almost seven years I am still pinching myself!
Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossRapidly ProgressiveImplantedBothI am a full time quality and improvement specialist who acquired deafness when I was 20 and have permanent tinnitus. I am passionate about my work and love helping others to solve problems. I had a classical training in music and lost the ability to enjoy music when I became deaf. I love exploring and listening to music with my very musical teenage daughter. I have been married for over 34 years and love being part of the hearing world and enjoying life!
Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSince BirthImplantedBothI was born deaf and was implanted with internal implant of HiRes90K in 2005 and Auria processor. It failed 9 months later. In Oct 2007, I was sequentially bilaterally implanted with HiRes90K and Harmony processors. I was upgraded with Naida Q70 processors in Sept 2015. I am a mum to my three boys(19,11,9) and also a foster carer and a web designer. I enjoy walking with my dog. When I have time, I enjoy music and baking.
