Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSlowly ProgressiveImplantedBothI have a lifetime of hearing loss, starting at age 6. I spent my life wearing hearing aids, then became totally deaf about age 40. Then I regained my hearing with a Advanced Bionics CI in 1997. I have been through several "generations" of implants and upgrades since.
Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSince BirthImplantedLeftHi, I am Ita Carroll, i was 30 years fighting deafness, and then went profoundly deaf. My whole world fell apart. I was referred to the national CI in Dublin Who implanted the Advanced Bionic CI into each ear, which gave me my life back again. My friends call me the bionic woman. My objective now is to mentor other people on the same hearing journey, to help you hear again.
