September 2023 HearPeers GoogleMeet hosted by Mary Beth for Med-El CI users, their families and those considering a Med-El CI

@TechnoMonoCo

The only one that I host which is scheduled at this time is Sept 24.

The one following that will not be scheduled until the Sept 24 GoogleMeet is completed.

Just keep your eye on the forum where it gets posted when scheduled.  Or you can easily search the forum after Sept 24th for the word “October” in a post title and it should show up.

Hello! I just joined Hear Peers and I'd love to sign up

[Mary Beth]

@NathalieM

Welcome to HearPeers.  I see you are from Canada, right?  We have Canadians in our monthly GoogleMeet.

 

Check the top right menu for the envelope icon in a moment and we will get you set up for the invite.

 

Feel free to introduce yourself here in the forum and ask questions.  We are a friendly group.

[NathalieM]

Thank you Mary Beth!  I was doing research on CI forums just last night and came across this great one - you ARE a great friendly group and love this!

Yes, I’m Canadian from Windsor, Ontario, have lived in both Quebec and British Columbia (also bilingual - that is French & English). I was born hearing impaired in both ears with malformed/enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome and have worn hearing aids my whole life. I am a CI recipient and my first one was from 18 years ago (2005) in my right ear and currently wear the SONNET. I have just been approved for a CI in my left ear after my audiogram shows a slow, gradual decline in that ear. I'm currently waiting for my final vaccination shots (Meningococcus & Hib) then a date will be set for the surgery (probably November 2023).

@NathalieM

Thanks for the introduction.  Hearing in balanced bilateral CI ears is amazing!  Glad you joined us!  I look forward to following your journey.
