Implanted AgeYoung AdultHearing LossSlowly ProgressiveImplantedBothI'm am the proud wearer of AB cochlear implants. After struggling through my earlier years with hearing aids, I was implanted in my left ear in 2001 and, in 2013, I was lucky to get my second implant in my right ear.
Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossRapidly ProgressiveImplantedLeftWhen I was 6 years old I lost my right ear to Meningitis. As a teen and young adult I was always on a quest for better hearing. With only one ear that was slowly getting progressively worse and my hearing hearing aid no longer helping I looked at my future as being deaf. That was not acceptable to me. In 2014 I started to do research on cochlear implants. Wow, I can't believe I waited this long. I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
