The decisive factor is: What do I want to do with my #cochlearimplant (CI)? "It was clear to me from the beginning: I need a solution that fits my life – and not just looks good. I ride motorcycles, go skiing, windsurfing – it was important to me that my CI was also technically up to par. I took a long time, informed myself intensively and kept asking myself the question: What do I actually want to achieve with the CI? Looking back, I'm glad I chose Advanced Bionics – especially because of the flexible technology and the possibilities in everyday life," says Andreas. Andreas, 59 years old, lives an active life - whether motorcycling, on the ski slopes or windsurfing. It was clear to him that a CI had to be able to go through all this. Standard solutions in which the focus is on appearance were out of the question for him. He was looking for a technology that would adapt to his life – not the other way around. Advanced Bionics convinced him above all with: ✅ The off-ear solution with clip and long cable - ideal for helmets when motorcycling or skiing ✅ The AquaCase for safe use in water sports ✅ The technical orientation towards the future – among other things through Marvel CI technology ✅ Accessories for various everyday situations ✅ Personal exchange with an experienced AB mentor Today, many things are easier for Andreas: he takes an active part in life again, has relaxed conversations – even in noisy environments – and can enjoy his hobbies with the necessary listening comfort. What used to be associated with insecurity and hearing stress has now become a matter of course again: understanding, exchanging ideas, belonging. "Because in the end, it's not just that you hear that counts - but how well hearing fits your own life." #ABCochlearImplants #CochlearImplants #AccessibilityMatters #LifewithABCIs Note: The views expressed in this post are those of the author.
