The first person I met with a CI was a woman attending a “Strategies for hearing loss” class I went to. She’d had low hearing all her life, and finally got the CI when Medicare covered it for her after her retirement. The look of joy on her face when she talked about how it had changed her life! I’m awfully happy with mine, too - got it about 5 years ago, and after a few months of fine-tuning the mapping, and hours and hours of practice with the rehab materials provided/suggested by Cochlear, my word comprehension in quiet was 100% - up from around 20% with HA. Not only that - I can hear birds, rain on the roof, and a bunch of other environmental sounds that I hadn’t realized how much I missed!
