Implanted AgeInfant or Young ToddlerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedRightYo fui capaz de realizar mi suenio de ver crecer a mis dos hijos bilungues, ya que ellos hablan espanol e Ingles con total facilidad y fluidez. Yo visualizo las innumerables posibilidades que ellos tendran en el futuro gracias a que ellos tienen un coclear implante. (I am able to pursue my dream of raising bilingual children as I watch my two sons speak Spanish and English with ease. What visions I have of the endless doors of possibility they have ahead, thanks to their life with a CI. )

Since getting my cochlear implants, I enjoy all aspects of my life fully and I’m pursuing activities that I used to only dream about.
