"I've been deaf since childhood and received my first cochlear implant 18 years ago, followed by my second CI two years later. They have been a part of my life from the very beginning. Of course, it wasn't always easy: hearing training, speech therapy, many doctor's visits. But I always had people around me who supported me. Thanks to my family, dedicated teachers, and my own motivation, I learned to speak and attended a regular school as usual. My CI helped me a lot to forge my own path. I don't see it as a weakness, but rather as a part of me that has made me strong. One of the biggest challenges was definitely language. Foreign words, phrases, and sarcasm often confused me. This often unsettled me, especially in social interactions. But I never gave up. I read a lot and dared to ask questions when I didn't understand something, and eventually, things got better. A small device behind the ear changed my entire life. My cochlear implant opened up the world of hearing to me. Without this implant, I wouldn't be living the life I do today. It not only enabled me to hear, but also gave me self-confidence. It taught me that anything is possible, even when it seems impossible at first. Believe in yourself, even if others might not. You're allowed to take detours. You're allowed to go slower. And you're allowed to have doubts sometimes. But never give up." - Mia Madeleine Donitz, CI Recipient Find more stories from people with cochlear implants: Advanced Bionics #LifeWithABCIs #HearingLossWontStopMe #ABConnections #CochlearImplants Note: The views expressed in this post are those of the author.
