HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted April 10, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hello Dawn and welcome to the bionic bunch! I have one implant and live in Ontario as well. I had my surgery at Sunnybrook in Toronto. I hope you are doing well. The next phase after activation is the most crucial. Make to take time everyday to do aural rehab. Your audiologist will give you tips on where to start. Also check out the forum on aural rehab there are plenty of tips there as well. Best of luck!!
