About Me
I experienced sudden onset hearing loss in 2020. I was fortunate to find a good ENT MD in Phoenix, AZ, and as soon as I was covered by insurance, I moved forward with CI surgery in my right ear in July 2023. I have partial hearing in my left ear and am bimodal, wearing a Phonak hearing aid in that ear. I am active, in good health, and very happy with my CI experience. It has been nothing short of life-changing for me.

My favorite thing about my AB Cochlear implant is
I can hear things I never thought I'd hear again. I couldn't be more pleased with my choice of AB for my CI device, and my life with my improved hearing is better than I could have anticipated.
I am active professionally. I love exercising and playing golf. I enjoy listening to music, reading, and traveling. Most importantly, it is easier for me to interact with my family, especially my grandkids.
I chose AB because
I spent a lot of time researching CI options, and neither my MD nor my audiologist influenced me. I enjoyed my research and concluded that AB was the best choice for me. I liked the technology, the independent reviews I read, the recipient testimonies, and the tech specs. I also like that Phonak and AB are aligned, as I have had good experiences with my Phonak hearing aids. My team strongly supported the decision to go with AB.
