Thank you for this video. I will be getting cochlear implants in Feb 2024. My hearing loss was from an accident in the military back in 1987. My right side is completely deaf. I wear bi-cross hearing aids, which transfers sound to my left ear. Throughout the years, I've gotten up to speed with the "latest" technology, but still, I struggle in conversations, terrified at the airport that I'll miss my plane, and hate in office visits where they don't have visual signs and people call your name and their voice is soft--well soft to me. Anyhow, it struck me in the video and I also read articles online about no able to wear hearing aid on the side that has had surgery. That scares me more, however, I'll manage. I do appreciate all of the information provided on this video to assist in my preparation. Happy New Year!
Hope it helps you and restores what was lost. Come back once you’re using it and give an update on your experience if you remember and are up to it. I personally do not have and luckily do not need said implant but I do find this amazing. Good luck! Only a month away and by the sounds another month after then you can kick her on and hopefully not just hear better but to be more comfortable. Happy near years and thank you for you’re service
I am sending you loads of love and positive energy as a woman suffering from decreasing hearing loss
Very nice discussion with the CI panelists, I had my CI surgery Jan 12 2024 and my activation will be on Feb 8,2024 I'm really excited to begin my marathon and to see what my brains neurons have been doing since I've been deaf on .y right side for a good 6-7 years now.
This is the best implant video on the entire Internet
I recently had surgery on March 27th and was activated April 9th.
Its been about a few weeks and I'm able to hear speech and pretty much can understand what is being said without issue.
Trying to use the phone is my biggest challenge right now. Music right now doesn't sound as it should.
With me not even being activated a full month yet I find my progress to be well ahead of where I should be.
I think within next 5 or so months I should be back to normal hearing with this implant.
Fantastic information,thank you.
This is awesome video for everyone who sharing their cochlear implant experience, my experience with cochlear implant is that I love to hear everything in almost every day
I recently underwent a cochlear implant procedure for my right ear on February 1st, 2024. I lost hearing 8 years ago due to an illness. I have worn bi-cross hearing aids since then. The activation of my cochlear implant occurred on Feb 14th. The initial auditory experience differed from my expectations, characterized by significant static and feedback. As I progress into the third day post-activation, there is a noticeable improvement, instilling confidence in the gradual adjustment process. I am also on program 2 today. However, I am able to hear my own voice when I talk. My audiologist has reassured me this is normal during this transition. While I find joy in discovering new sounds such as my car blinker and hearing birds, the presence of my own voice remains a slight inconvenience and annoying 🙂. I am optimistic that with time, this will diminish or cease altogether. Is this normal? Will hearing your own voice go away in time? Has anyone else experienced this? I am still confident that this will be life changing. I value this video with such important information. Thank you.
I have an CI since i was 2 yrs old so for me i dont know how everything sounded without this was a great video
Remarkable! Would or could a ci allow someone to hear above or below our normal range?
I'm planning to get cochlear implant because i have profound hearing loss on my right ear and no more eardrum due to infection..
Is this true with the BAHA or OSIA devices as well?
My brother had cochlea implant in 2016. He use to have hearing aid device on one ear and latter on both ears before the cochlea implant. Cochlear implant surgery was success and he said he was hearing some sort of computer kind of voices at the beginning. He only opted to have only left side of his ear for the implant even though two ears implant was recommended. His hearing ability with cochlea implant significantly increased and he can communicate and effectively with some challenges ( he use to speaks 3 languages and I was extremely surprised the cochlear implant allowed him to continue listening 3 languages). my question for those who read this: My brother start hearing noise not to loud but somehow uncomfortable noises just last week for duration of 1-2 hours. Is this normal? Is it recommended to do the other ear to have cochlea implant? He will have CT scan on Monday to see what cause the noise. Any lived experience recommendation is welcome.
I have 30% word recognition in my right ear and 80% in the left. After my implant I understand there will be a considerable adjustment. Will this affect the hearing in both ears or will I be able to hear with my good ear? In other words will all my hearing be incomprehensible for a time?
I have only watched half.
Could you please talk to teenagers and young adults?
My grandson, now 25, has had hearing loss since 8 yrs old. He was fitted for hearing aids.
His hearing steadily declined. Hearing his teachers at school and reactions from other children.
During the beginning of high school, his audiologist talked to him about something new called coclier device.
Two aspects he could not agree with: thought of surgery terrified him along with the fact, once installed can never be removed. What if they didn't work? He, with resolution, said "no".
Now, at 25, he is considering this option.
No volume. ???
I just got my cochlear implant activated on January 31, 2024. Let me tell you, is going to be a long process. Because I can't hear clear sounds, all I hear is ringing. I understand my brain is not use to this new processor and i understand that my brain has to lern to accept that electricity. I lost my hearing when I was 2 years old. I been used to wearing hearing aids all my life. I'm very excited about getting cochlear implant I just can't wait to hear clear.
Me also i lost 40 prenct can I have cochlear implant
Dont know how I landed here but watched the whole thing. Technology is awesome.
How can an infant that is deaf from birth learn to speak from an implant?
I’m not a doctor but I assume that the brain will only know “sound” from cochlear implants as an infant because generally(I think I read it) the auditory cortex, or hearing, takes around 6 years to develop or reach maturity, so having a cochlear implant within a few months old-6 years old, the brain is ready to be able to speak since by the time an infant with cochlear implants start school, they will have a few years of auditory memory, so as long as the infant is surrounded by spoken language or auditory therapy.
Also babies or infants have incredible brain plasticity, making the brain more likely to develop hearing with cochlear implants
Even if they hypothetically only heard the world in beeps and static, those beeps and static are what they hear coming out of their own mouth, too, so they can still accurately replicate sounds and be intelligible to hearing folk.
