Janet Fox-Part 1 Prior to Getting a Second Cochlear Implant. The Journey to Bilateral
I met Janet just after she received a cochlear implant. There was a genetic component to her hearing loss. Her brother received a cochlear implant before she did.
She is an intrepid personality who refused to give up even as she was struggling to get the best results.
Activated with a Cochlear Nucleus 6 and wearing a ReSound hearing aid in the other ear, her bimodal hearing was never optimal. I believed at the time; she would eventually opt to get a second cochlear implant.
As her hearing in the HA side declined, she was ready.
I asked her to sit down with me to talk about her experiences and her decision to go bilateral. She also shares her experience with tinnitus and how receiving the first cochlear implant had an effect on it. TRANSCRIPT IS AVAILABLE AT COCHLEARIMPLANTBASICS.COM
