About Me

I grew up hearing perfectly but as a young adult was diagnosed with Meniere’s in both ears. This results in wearing hearing aids for 18 years. By this time I was relying on lip reading and my life was turned upside down. I got my two CI’s and I am not shy anymore. I love being with people and each day is pure joy.

Mentor Information

My favorite thing about my AB Cochlear implant is
My ease being able to hear in any environment.
With my AB cochlear implant, I can
use any telephone and I have my own cell phone.
My favorite sound is
hearing people’s voice easily and be relaxed at the same time.
I chose AB because
they lead the way with superior technology with the internal implant and external processors/battery life/t-mic.
I am a BEA Mentor because
I want to give those struggling to hear HOPE and let them know a normal life is possible with a CI.
I can help cochlear implant candidates by
listening to your needs, answering your questions, sharing my experience, and help you on your hearing journey.
