For decades, cochlear implants (CIs) have been hailed by clinicians and recipients as the most successful neural prosthetic device in medical history. They restore functional hearing access to individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Yet, if you spend five minutes searching online using terms like “why cochlear implants are bad,” you will inevitably…
Taking the decision to undergo cochlear implant (CI) surgery, which bionically restores hearing to people with severe and profound hearing loss, is not easy. I spent thirty years progressively losing my ability to hear, living with tinnitus, locked in the closet of my hearing loss, and using hearing aids. In 2013, when I discovered I…
There are 1.5 billion people worldwide with some degree of hearing loss. It means that there are A LOT of people dealing with difficult feelings, depression, isolation and shame. Deaf influencers and bloggers – or bloggers with hearing loss, it’s up to you – share their experiences, feelings, fears and tears in this journey. We…
Books for children with hearing loss whose characters wear hearing aids and cochlear implants are very impactftul: it’s the power of representativity. In the colorful world of children’s literature, every story holds the power to ignite young imaginations and shape their understanding of the world around them. For children with cochlear implants (CIs) and hearing…
In May 2013, I shared my 30-year journey with progressive hearing loss in Vogue Brazil. By that point, I had reached profound hearing loss—unable to hear almost anything, even with the latest hearing aids. I’m a deaf author of three books (you can find them on Amazon), and I lead the largest online community for…
Hearing loss brings us a lot of sadness and it would be hypocritical not to talk about it. I shared on the Chronicles of Hearing Loss fan page the link to a 2012 post whose title is “Hearing Loss also saddens me”. I was surprised because almost 20,000 people viewed the post because of the title, and it…
The day of the activation of your Cochlear Implant arrived? Of course I would write tips for adapting to the cochlear implant. Adaptation to CI is a process, and you should face it without feeling anxious and comparing yourself with other people. Be patient! The initial sound might be weird, and the revelation of how noisy…
The bilateral Cochlear Implant surgery, in my case, was a long decision. Only three years after my first Cochlear Implant, and after my mother’s death I started thinking seriously about it. What was different about the second CI was that it had special participation from my husband, who is an ENT doctor who specialized in hearing loss,…
My left ear, despite having a beautifully clear audiogram, has never been quite like my right ear with the cochlear implant. From the start, the right side delivered sound that was loud, open, expansive, clean, and clear. The left always felt muffled and closed off—it was strange. Together, they work wonderfully, but if the battery…
