Mentor Information
My favorite thing about my AB Cochlear implant is
I love the fact that AB in my opinion is the most innovative bit of kit around.
With my AB cochlear implant, I can
Get wet and still hear thanks to ABs aqua case and waterproof mic. Hear music with supreme clarity even understanding some of the lyrics of songs, converse relatively easily in noisy environments which I hope will become easier still thanks to new features coming soon!
My favorite sound is
Rain-drops, heels on a wooden floor
I chose AB because
At the time compared to other brands AB were seen to be at the forefront of technology and innovation. I'm so pleased to have chosen AB and haven't looked back since.
I am a BEA Mentor because
To give something back to people considering a cochlear implant ny sharing my experiences to help them make an informed choice - something that wasn't easily accessible to me when I was considering a CI.
I can help cochlear implant candidates by
Being open and honest about my experiences as a cochlear implant user.
