Sonova and its brands provide leading hearing technology for its customers.

"The biggest advantage of having a bilateral #cochlearimplant, is that I can hear stereo sound, which helps me to distinguish the source of sound (sense of direction). Sometimes, I often know where the sound is from when I was walking or if I knew there was a bicycle behind me. I haven't had such experience with #hearingaids before, and often I almost got hit by a bicycle. "In the beginning, I didn't feel good about the music sound and couldn't hear the rhythm. But the day after I waited for half a year after I got CI, I was browsing on Tiktok on my mobile phone, and suddenly a video made me almost cry. It was pure rhythmic music, and no one sang. But the rhythm and melody were particularly pleasant and real. After a long time of waiting, finally, I heard music. I kept shedding tears, I was so moved."

FAQ series, part 4/5: What Is Cochlear Implant Surgery? Is It Brain Surgery? No. Cochlear implant surgery is not brain surgery. It’s surgery in the inner ear, or the cochlea. A cochlear implant system has two parts, the internal device and the sound processor. The internal device, the cochlear implant itself, contains the electrodes that the surgeon places in the cochlea during surgery. The sound processor is worn externally, and it will be activated a few weeks after your surgery. Are you looking to learn more about cochlear implants for yourself or a loved on?
