DarlaHS Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 I received my bilateral cochlear implants in 2018 and I continue to struggle daily to hear and understand. I have readjustments every 3-6 months with my audiologist and for the most part I guess it helps. What can I do? Is there a online workbook? I very much feel deaf and sometimes I wonder if it would be easier if I was. Serena Metzler and Dianna 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 10, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 @KrisHS Sorry to hear you are frustrated. Aural rehab helped me a lot. Follow this link https://web.cvent.com/event/9f87401e-5bd8-4868-9e78-1fbba262e086/regProcessStep1 to schedule a captioned video meeting one on one with Med-El US and check the box for rehab. I will also link you to a pdf that you can download that gives links to what helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianna Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hi kris! I am so sorry you are feeling discouraged! This is a good place to ask for help! After you check out mary beths suggestion, and it may very well be a workbook type help, i would suggest angel sounds if you have a computer or laptop, i like the sections on consonants because i had problems with clarity.....you can go or stop, you can listen to the sounds used over and over without being tested. I had the biggest issue with th sounding like s. Did you receive both implants at the same time? Yikes! I have been working hard on my ci but i still have some hearing on one side and it helps a little but my ci is what i hear from. I believe you may be able to find a speech center that can help with training like a speech and hearing center, but the online apps are cheaper, lol. Do you work or go to school? Please before you give up give us a chance to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
