Good morning everyone!!
I realized that I have not spoken almost nothing of the cochlear implant. Well, I thought that instead of describing it, indicating who may be candidates, etc, for better you read personal experiences, no? Whenever you are in time to ask any questions about rehabilitation, but the individual stories are unique, each person lives and progresses differently.
In this case, I recommend you visit several blogs of late implanted adults, pre and postlingually being deaf. This morning I discovered your blog, and I love.
So I think we should see the implant as a new way to open the world from a more adult. I say this because almost every time we talk about cochlear implants in infants and young children (6-7 years maximum), and thanks to early detection are cases in the first months of life, or when they are still small.
But we can not neglect the BRAVE
deaf adults, who decide open to the world, everything is new to them (if we speak of prelingually), who know that their hearing may not become perfect, but not want to miss anything, no encouragement, no sound ..
This post is for them, for their struggle, and personal initiative. Ls
blogs that I really liked are:
- Concepcion's Blog: bilaterally implanted adult. "I was born profoundly deaf. Now I hear through two cochlear implants ...."
MY NEW COCHLEAR IMPLANT - The Jungle blog: post-lingual profoundly deaf (she lost her hearing at age 7.) Was implanted with 46.
FOREST IN SIGN - Pepe Lozano's Blog: implanted with post-lingual deafness. A very funny blog!
DAILY a cochlear implant sure you like.
A hug to everyone!!
Pilar.
