"Marcus was diagnosed with #hearingloss since a newborn. He had been wearing #hearingaids since he was 3 months old. Through continued monitoring, the audiologist found that Marcus’ left ear was profound/severe. At 6 years old, he was approved to have surgery and the process went very quick due to the importance of interacting with his environment better. After surgery, it was like nothing happened! He was playing the next day.
"We easily chose Advanced Bionics because it seamlessly works and pairs with @Phonak. Marcus is bimodal and wears a #Phonak hearing aid in his right ear. Connectivity to the Roger system and having the same technology of the #cochlearimplant and hearing aid makes using and having similar features easier and more more convenient.
"Sometime after surgery, the teachers and I noticed that Marcus began not only speaking louder with confidence, but he is saying longer sentences. His classmates showed more inclusion and awareness especially from reading ""Leo Gets a Cochlear Implant,"" book by AB. I have also noticed that Marcus is more confident and aware of his environment. He holds more focus on the speaker and information with the help from the Roger system. Our family is so happy in our choice with #AdvancedBionics!" - Annie, (@annieplus3kiddos)
