🇪🇸 "Nací con Hipoacusia Profunda Bilateral Neurosensorial, usé audífono en el oído izquierdo desde muy pequeña. Llegó el momento de que el único audífono que usaba no me era suficiente, por lo que empezaron a hablarme sobre el Implante Coclear. Luego de algunos años de idas y vueltas, finalmente fui candidata a implantarme. Actualmente soy usuaria bimodal y estoy a la espera de mi segundo Implante.
Antes de implantarme, venía de mucho tiempo de sentirme que no quería exponerme a reuniones de personas, experimentaba deseos de quedarme tranquila en mi casa, sin arriesgarme a situaciones estresantes. Con el primer implante he podido no sólo escuchar cosas que nunca antes había percibido (como el canto de los pájaros, mi propia respiración, el remoloneo de las hojas en otoño) sino que además he vuelto a sentirme con más seguridad, con más confianza en mi misma y he logrado efectos positivos en mi estado de ánimo cotidiano." -- @rececilia_
🇬🇧 "I was born with Profound Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss, I used a hearing aid in my left ear since I was very young. The time came when the only hearing aid I was using was not enough for me, so they started talking to me about the Cochlear Implant. After a few years of back and forth, I was finally a candidate for implantation. I am currently a bimodal user and am waiting for my second implant.
Before I was implanted, I had been feeling for a long time that I did not want to expose myself to meeting people, I wanted to stay at home and not risk stressful situations. With the first implant, I have not only been able to hear things I had never heard before (such as birdsong, my own breathing, the rustling of leaves in autumn), but I have also become more confident and self-assured and have had a positive effect on my daily mood." -- @rececilia_
