"I was a lifelong recipient of @Phonak #hearingaids and always liked hearing with them. Especially the promise of clear speech was an absolute argument to go with the bimodal solution of #AdvancedBionics and #Phonak. After my #suddenhearingloss of my residual hearing in my left ear during a severe migraine attack and a severe sudden #tinnitus last February, speech was all blurry and tinny so my ENT doctor sent me to my CI clinic and I had all the tests done. I was so relieved to be a CI candidate.
"To be honest, AB wasn’t my first choice but their promising bimodal hearing aid plus cochlear implant solution was what made me choose AB. I was able to test the Phonak hearing aid for a few months and simply loved it, so it was settled after yet another appointment at my clinic. And I also loved the colours, even if I went with black.
"My CI now has impacted my life only in a positive way! Hearing and listening is so much easier than with two hearing aids. Hearing finally doesn’t hurt anymore. Instead, it brought me back to my community of other DdHoH (Dear, deaf, and Hard of Hearing) people and new friends I share my CI story with." - Luisa, (@annaluisaw)
