Mentor Information

My favorite thing about my AB Cochlear implant is
The ability to communicate with family, friends and colleagues.
With my AB cochlear implant, I can
Relax in social situations, use a telephone (including a cell phone) and enjoy music.
My favorite sound is
My childrens' voices!
I chose AB because
As an engineer, I can appreciate the upgradeability of the implant itself. I plan to use them for a very long time, and look forward to continued improvements in my hearing in different situations as the technology advances.
I am a BEA Mentor because
It gives me great satisfaction to be able to help others experience the improved quality of life afforded by cochlear implants.
I can help cochlear implant candidates by
listening to your concerns, sharing common experiences, and providing assistance and guidance in choosing an implant.
