Mentor Information
My favorite thing about my AB Cochlear implant is
I no longer feel isolated or detached from the activities that are going on around me. I now have the confidence to join in, even if I miss a few words now and again it doesn't trouble me like it used to.
With my AB cochlear implant, I can
Effectively talk on the phone without the stress and frustration phone calls used to produce. Much more confidence when, on occasion, I don't understand a word correctly. It's no big deal.
My favorite sound is
Laughter. (But also music.)
I chose AB because
I had help from an implanted friend with understanding how CIs work and the significance of AB's technology and strategies; AB's unique T-mic being one of several that influenced me.
I am a BEA Mentor because
I know from first-hand experience the isolation and debilitating impact hearing loss creates—with family, friends, and in the workplace. I got my life back thanks to CIs so mentoring is one way I have of paying it forward for others.
I can help cochlear implant candidates by
Listening, relating, and supporting them on their journey.
