HearPeers Heroes stream2525 Posted October 25, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Do people who were born deaf or have complete deafness benefit more from CI or people who still have some hearing left ? Who will hear in the future better after having cochlear Implant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted October 31, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi Stream, It's definitely implantees who had an experience of hearing in their formative years. This means: proper transmission of sound through the implantee's brain happens in the appropriate time-frame although - sooner is better. If you had a good hearing threshold in this period (up to 4 years old), you do not worry regarding this particular issue because your brain had all potentials to evolve a fully functional neural hearing net between.
