steph Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I will be receiving my first Cochlear implant at the end of December. I have been hard of hearing since I was 3 years years. I am 46 years old now. I have been wearing hearing aids in both years for the last 17 years. What is it like to have cochlear implants?

HearPeers Heroes Megan L. Posted November 13, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi @steph Welcome to the group!! I'm also scheduled the end of December to get my 2nd CI on Monday 12/21 Mary Beth is spot on when she says cochlear implants are life changing!!!! I could not imagine my life without it now. I know I would not be able to work in apparel product development without it. My one CI has improved my quality of life tremendously. Everything from speaking to listening to music to hearing the rain sound wonderful to me. Best wishes on your journey and ask us any other questions you have! @Mary Beth LOVED your video. Well said!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 20, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 @steph That varies from person to person. Aural rehab helped me a lot. There are a lot of great ideas in our REHAB topic. Do you have Sonnet 2 or Rondo 3?
