A year later ... how does it sound with a new cochlear implant?

[@AngelaGrace2]

You are a sweet, gentle and caring person. I'm happy you are helping so many. Thanks for this video as I've always wondered about cochlear implants. The thrill of seeing impaired people hear for the first time, especially babies hearing their mother's voices, brings me so much joy.

What a joy to listen to you. Thank you.

Thank you. This helps me so much. I just had a cochlear implant operation last week and will have an activation almost three weeks from now. 😁

I was introduced to Boys Town Institute in Omaha….when they first opened….it was a wonderful experience…I will NEVER forget them…..

What brand cochlear implant did you have put in? Thank you!

[@gkiltz0]

I've heard that even after several mapping sessions it is like listening to the world through a small AM radio. Is that true, false or a little of both!

[@irenelepley9916]

Were you deaf prior to the implant?

[@AD-on3zx]

Here's hoping the pina comes in. Good luck.

You didn’t mention your homework

[@annahunter6802]

Was it alot of pain how long did it last?

[@miningmonkey760]

I'm curious, you weren't born deaf, were you? I lost my hearing in 2016 on right side,so my brain does understand sounds prior to that,my question is if I get cochlear implant would my brain have to retrain to hear those sounds again?? I'm confused when I see videos of cochlear implant patients and say the brain has to relearn those sounds ,but if I heard those before does my brain have to relearn again on right side?

[@lp8688]

If you have single sided deafness, having a cochlear implant would be little hard. Because you will be hearing two different sounds at the same time. The same sound would be normal in functional ear and would be electronic kind of in deaf ear. Your brain will have to train for it and adjust to the new sound differences.
