Vinell Lacy-A Candidate for a Cochlear Implant That Chose Not to Proceed
Vinell has a long-term progressive, profound hearing loss. There is a genetic component within her family for hearing loss.

She has not received a cochlear implant yet. Although she was scheduled to have surgery, family issues intervened, and she has delayed. She has not chosen a company. Her interview is important to those who have delayed for any of the reasons Vinell has cited here.
Her hearing loss has affected every facet of her life and it is poignant that when she is asked what would change in her life, she declares, “Everything!” TRANSCRIPT IS AVAILABLE AT COCHLEARIMPLANTBASICS.COM
