i have a very serious question: what might happen if hearing implants unexpectedly get a whole new technological advancement in cochlear implants technology? (a hypothetical): what if there was a completely new cochlear technology created (invented?)… would that simply require new program uploading or what if it required an entirely newer device? would it actually be possible to go back in (operationally) to remove the old implant while immediately implanting (since all is open during surgery at that moment) the new/future (hypothetically presented in this question) technological implant(s)? or is one “committed to the first/original/(only?)” implant surgically implanted/engaged when it occurs in their life? (i’m literally/honestly asking for a friend - i’m luckily w/o hearing loss in both my ears - knock on wood).. thanks for your video & possible reply!

Hi Jason, great question! I will eventually need to go in for surgery to replace my current internal device with an upgraded version to be compatible with the newest technology. This may happen in the next 5-10 years unless my current device fails before that time. There have been some who have already undergone this surgery and had success with it and I am hopeful for mine as well. Thanks for asking!

I have had mine for a month and I have to say it works very well indoors. However speech in a crowded restaurant all I hear is the clank of every plate in the kitchen or every fork dropping. It's almost unusable. Also every high pitch maybe 10-15KHz is just an annoying hiss. I don't need to hear those frequencies and am going to ask my audiologist if she can just kill that whole band,

I'm sixteen student and I'm deaf. I've worn hear aid since I was 18 months old, so for me is normal listen though them. I've got a brother with two choclear implants. I’ve never had a problem except in noisy environments. I speak well, I study in a "Liceo Classico" and play the piano, I have won national and international competitions without anyone knowing about my problem. All this to say that for me they never constituted a problem. And I can almost certainly say that I hear faithfully and that I have heard at least once all the sounds that for many people are difficult (e.g. chirping birds). However my deafness has always been a "borderline situation" with a cochlear implant. Over the years, my hearing has gotten a little worse, so we were gradually turning up the volume. I have lost other decibels, but the hear aids cannot be raised further and already the sound at times distorts and whistles. When I get back every day from school after only 4/5 of lesson I have headache and I’m very tired. I don’t watch television or movies without subtitles because I can’t distinguish words: it could be any language! And so also in the daily speaking, I feel that they are speaking to me but I cannot recognize the words, unless there is absolute silence. So I can’t do many things that my peers do. But if there’s silence, I actually hear like a normal person. Could an implant help me or is it too risky given my good prosthetics? Sorry for the long message but I’m really undecided.

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out and I totally understand where you are coming from. Those headaches at the end of a day of classes remind me of the listening fatigue I got through out my school years. It happens to most of us with hearing aids / cochlear implants. You mention you feel your hearing is declining. That is a good indicator to review what options your audiologist suggests and get insights from medical professionals. My mother is a pianist as well and with my cochlear implant, I am able to enjoy listening to the piano more than when I had a hearing aid at age 6. There is a online event at the end of the month where you can learn about the newest cochlear implant available: advancedbionics.cventevents.com/event/1604ef58-51d8-4df6-939f-721e7567c2d3/summary Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions. -David

Thank you for your reply. It's really helpful to know that other people had been in this situation. I've already told my equipe, and they have different opinion. 😅 If you don't mind I have some questions. Is it true that implants help listening in noisy environments? What I'm more worried about is how the implants would sound to me. I know there will be a period of adaptation, but I don't want it to sound metallic. It's obvious for you that it's normal to wear it. Is the sound clear and "crystalline"and not closed and robotic? People have told me that the sound is good, but not "natural" like the difference between a live concert and a recording in a studio. Is it like this also for you? On KZbin I watched some videos that imitate how an implant sounds like, and they aren't reassuring, because the sound is really strange😬, but I've also listened to hearing aid simulations and they sound completely different from how I feel them😂😂. Thank you. It's nice when people share each other their stories.

@@e.b.4759 Great questions! Depending on the cochlear implant and the types of programs applied to them, it can often help in noisy environments. Wireless microphones for group settings is a popular option or finding the right settings for your microphones. Noisy environments can still present some challenges but there are some tools to help. Sound imitations of a cochlear implant sounds way more robotic than what I actually hear. Alike when you heard hearing aid simulations. My normal might be different than another person with a cochlear implant as it comes down to personal preferences during a mapping session with a audiologist. It is hard to say how one will hear with it and it may take time to adapt. Hope that helps!
