My second cochlear implant activation. I was quite surprised because with the first one, I never heard the tones...I just felt a pounding sensation in my head.

  • your reactions are so cute!

    had you been completely deaf beforehand? was this your first time hearing?

  • I had been able to hear with a hearing aid in that ear up until March of 2007, when I suddenly lost it all. I was almost completely deaf between March '07 and November '07.

    In this video, I already had one CI (implanted Sept. '06) but I don't hear sounds with it...I feel them. It was such a surprise to hear the sounds because I had never had that experience before! :)

  • very cute!!!

  • @Jtronique CI for sure. The in the ear hearing aids hurt my ears, but now I don't always have to push the ear piece back in and the sound quality is amazing. :)

  • How would you compare your overall experience please, cochlear vs hearing aid in general... for example, do you find the extra weight worth the less squeal of a tinyier device? What are some advantages and disadvantages please? I have a friend who might be between both soon. Thanks!
