Implanted AgeOlder AdultHearing LossSudden hearing lossImplantedI experienced sudden onset hearing loss in 2020. I was fortunate to find a good ENT MD in Phoenix, AZ, and as soon as I was covered by insurance, I moved forward with CI surgery in my right ear in July 2023. I have partial hearing in my left ear and am bimodal, wearing a Phonak hearing aid in that ear. I am active, in good health, and very happy with my CI experience. It has been nothing short of life-changing for me.

Getting back music in such a high quality way boggles my mind and even after almost seven years I am still pinching myself!
