Sound is not enough: Advising your business on reaching 466 million deaf customers worldwide
Today marks 28 years since I received my cochlear implant.
On July 7, 1998, I underwent cochlear implant surgery that changed my life. Nearly three decades later, my internal implant continues to function — something I never take for granted. My first thoughts on this anniversary are of gratitude.
Today is International Cochlear Implant Day. I have had a cochlear implant (CI) from Advanced Bionics for 24 years now. Before that I wore hearing aids (HA).
I have mixed feelings today. While I love a cochlear implant, I and many other long term c1 users like me are so fed up with Advanced Bionics that made us feel forgotten by them as they haven’t upgraded the external BTE processor for 11 years now. It’s long overdue.
