Mentor Information
My favorite thing about my AB Cochlear implant is
I no longer feel disabled.
With my AB cochlear implant, I can
Listen to music and do everything I did before I lost my hearing.
My favorite sound is
Listening to the birds sing when I go outside.
I chose AB because
1) After doing some research, I found that AB was the most technologically advanced and that the company philosophy was to continue to look for ways to improve the performance. 2) The T-mic allowed me to use a cell phone and hear sound in its most natural location. No longer would I have to "walk" along the back of a behind the ear processor to find the best point to hear on the phone. 3) I was told AB was the easiest to program and that I would be "up and running" much faster than with either Cochlear or Med-El.
I am a BEA Mentor because
I want to lead others down the path to great hearing.
I can help cochlear implant candidates by
guiding them through the process from candidacy to surgery to rehabilitation.
