HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted February 2, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi Ade, welcome to Hearpeers. I received my implant two plus years ago and it's been an awesome journey ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted February 2, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ade the BB is for people that have a different type of hearing loss. It is for those that have conductive hearing loss Not exclusively Adam. Although I know you this will be a comment from the peanut gallery, it can also be a choice of people with single sided deafness - most because of the cost of the CI implantation.

HearPeers Heroes Mr-LJ Posted February 2, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hello Ade, Another from the UK. I was implanted five years ago at Cambridge where did you get yours? So pleased you like your ci and that music is good for you. I also love to listen to music and I full well remember hearing clearly for the first time... John Lennons mouth organ in Love me do. Funny how some things stick out.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted February 2, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Laurence I have experienced the same, especially with music. Amazing how you notice so much more. A true reminder of exactly how much we were missing before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mr-LJ Posted February 2, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I totally agree Adam and the funny thing is... I am still, after some five years of having been implanted, still hearing things that I never heard before. Another example.... In my late teens I used to go wild fowling, (duck shooting) I never did hear the ducks over head in the dark. Sometime since I was implanted, I heard during the day, some Wigeon, and was amazed at hearing their high pitched whistling as the flew past. Such a beautiful sound too and because of this.... I no longer go duck shooting. Your avatar looks like you are hiding in the reeds for something. Do you have a punt gun ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted February 2, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Laurence, there are datas that brain changes even 7 years after the cochlear implantation. So, there are even more space to grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
