Sonova and its brands provide leading hearing technology for its customers.

🦻 Can a small device behind the ear change an entire life? Mia says: Yes! Mia Madeleine is 22 years old, a newly qualified office administrator – and has been deaf since the age of three. Since 2007, she has been wearing bilateral cochlear implants from #AdvancedBionics. Thanks to this technology, she can hear, speak fluently, has attended a mainstream school, and recently completed her training successfully. Her journey hasn’t always been easy: hearing training, speech therapy, social challenges – and many situations that required grit and perseverance. But Mia stayed the course. Supported by her mother, who made the early decision for a CI, she pushed through – with endurance, curiosity, and a lot of courage. Today, she says: 💬 “My CI opened up the world of hearing for me. It gave me opportunities I would never have had otherwise.” #ABCochlearImplants #CochlearImplants #AccessibilityMatters #LifewithABCIs Note: The views expressed in this post are those of the author.
