Implanted AgeToddler or PreschoolerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedRightI am the proud father of Ritesh, whom we found to be profoundly deaf about 3 years back and now he has progressed into a mainstream school. He had his cochlear implant on the right ear in 2010 and we as parents put in lot of effort initially until my son, his implant & time did rest of the magic!! And this Magic Continues…
Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSince BirthImplantedLeftI'm a mother to 4 kids, all hearing. I was born deaf and my hearing gradually worsened over my life until I was no longer coping as well. I'm lucky enough to live on a small island in Orkney. I was implanted in my "good"ear in 2013, at Crosshouse Hospital in Scotland and my life brightened back to full colour again.
Implanted AgeInfant or Young ToddlerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedBothI am the father of Anuja, who is a bilateral implantee. She has severe-to-profound hearing loss in both her ears. We came to know about the hearing loss when she was only 8 months old. As per the protocol our Audiologist then suggested that we use a Hearing Aid, but, due to poor responses we opted for her first CI (Neptune Processor) in 2013 on the Left ear. Looking at her good progress our Audiologist and Therapist suggested for a second Implant which we got in May 2016.
