💬 “Do it! Don’t be afraid, it can’t get any worse,” Luisa tells us when asked to give advice to others considering a cochlear implant.
Luisa is a social worker 👩🏽💼 and has been using the bimodal solution from Advanced Bionics since 2024 🎧. She’s worn a hearing aid from Phonak on her other ear since 2003 👂🏻.
Like so many others, Luisa was initially hesitant to get her #CochlearImplant. But after a series of hearing-related issues popped up, she went for it at the strong recommendation of her doctor 🩺👍.
Since then, she’s become an advocate for CIs and a mentor to others 🙌. “Personally, I would always choose a cochlear implant again.”
