"I started losing my hearing at 5 and a half years old after having a 7-minute seizure. Over time, my hearing kept getting worse, and hearing aids weren’t helping enough. It became clear that cochlear implants were the next step to help me stay connected and keep up in life.
My family and I chose Advanced Bionics because of the amazing technology and support. The features like waterproof processors and Bluetooth streaming really stood out, and we felt supported throughout the whole process.
My cochlear implants have made a huge difference. I’m able to understand people better, feel more confident, and even enjoy music again. I’ve joined and now lead an ASL club, which helps me connect with others in the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. I’m proud of how far I’ve come." -- @ its.charlotteofc
