Implanted AgeMiddle-aged AdultHearing LossSlowly ProgressiveImplantedBothAs I lost my hearing slowly, I began to pull away from life eventually becoming very isolated. 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.
Implanted AgeInfant or Young ToddlerHearing LossSince BirthImplantedBothAt 7 weeks old, my son Sawyer was diagnosed with Bilateral Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Hearing aids failed to benefit him, and at 1 year of age, he became an Advanced Bionics Bilateral Cochlear Implant recipient. Navigating those first few years can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be lonely! My name is Jessica Cox. I'm a wife, mother, working professional, avid reader, and advocate for self-advocacy!
