Implanted AgeHearing LossImplantedI developed menieres disease and started losing my hearing in my left ear at 21, then in my right ear a decade later. By the age of 40, I was really struggling to live life due to my hearing loss. I received an AB cochlear implant for my right ear and a Phonak Link hearing aid for my left ear in 2018. Life is SO much easier now!
Implanted AgeOlder AdultHearing LossSlowly ProgressiveImplantedBothI’m a late deafened man approaching retirement who spent almost 20 years dealing with slow progressive hearing loss until my audi finally told me she had no more powerful hearing aids, that my insurance no longer covered HA, but that I seemed to be a candidate for CI. I’m now a bilateral CI user having the right ear implanted on 08/29/13 and the left ear done on 04/04/14.
