Living with Hearing Loss/Cochlear Implant Life Update - Pursuing Audiology

[@AndreasNYC]

Thank you so very much for your two videos! They are helping my senior mother to decide if she should get a cochlear implant. Love how real you are about your experience and how much you are doing with your life!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Comments like this remind me why I'm pursuing my Doctor of Audiology degree. Wishing your mother the best on her hearing loss journey :)

Thank you for your videos. I am so glad you found your niche. I LOVE my audiologist, actually, I LOVE my entire team. I got my right side Cochlear done in April of 2018 and my left in September of the same year. I lost hearing in adulthood and am so loving being able to not worry that there are tornado sirens going off in the tornado alley I live in and not be able to hear them. Let alone all the other wonderful sounds (read MUSIC) that surround us every single day. I hope all is going well with your studies and you are still having that much fun mentoring others who have chosen the implants. I know it may not be the choice for many people, but for me, it was most definitely the correct choice for me.
