Hearing directly from people who are living with cochlear implants can make a difference to other users or candidates considering getting a cochlear implant. We’re sharing a short moment from an AB Mentor story—offering a real-life perspective and personal insight from someone who understands the journey first-hand. 🔎 Deanna's Story: “I lost my hearing in my left ear after a car accident. It was sudden, yet I didn't fully realize it or admit it until a month or two after the accident. My first cochlear implant was a game changer! I could have a conversation with my daughter and husband at the dinner table, I could hear most conversations one-on-one and the TV. Also, my tinnitus reduced greatly. I received my second cochlear implant four years later—it is amazing! I hear so many sounds I haven't heard in years. Music is wonderful, conversations are so much more relaxing now because I'm no longer struggling, I can hear better in restaurants, and I don't have tinnitus anymore. My WOW moment with my cochlear implants is how quickly I adapted, especially to the second one. I understood words immediately, and with exercises and practice, I was able to hear very well within a month. I was amazed at a jazz orchestra concert when I heard the piano player. I was ecstatic when I heard my daughter talking in the back seat of the car, and I'm overwhelmingly grateful that my tinnitus has greatly lessened or is non-existent.” AB Mentor stories can help patients feel more informed, reassured, and supported as they consider their options.

🤔 How does a Cochlear Implant work? A cochlear implant helps you hear differently than a hearing aid. A cochlear implant (CI) system has two parts. Together, they help you hear again by sending sound signals directly to your hearing nerve. The first part is placed under the skin and in your inner ear with surgery. It includes the implant and electrode array. The second part is worn outside on the ear. It includes a sound processor and a headpiece. Like your natural hearing, your hearing devices should work together. By using a hearing solution that matches on both ears, you can experience a better sense of where sounds are coming from and hear better in noisy situations.
