October 2008: Nate has his initial stimulation done at Charlotte Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat in Charlotte, NC with Dr. Rebekah Squires. He was re-implanted on the right side after the previous implant failed and also implanted for the first time on the left.
Here, he is getting stimulated on the newly implanted left side for the first time.
He had not had the use of his implants for over a month after surgery and who knows how poor the quality was of the failing implant and for how long. His speech held up remarkably well despite that length of time without good auditory feedback.
