Pediatric Cochlear Implant | Sarah's Story

[mynonameyt]

This never never never gets old for me. I thank God for ever person that put their but in a chair and studied, and then studied, and then studied some more in order to perfect their craft or find cures for people. I'm 65 years old with no real issues in my life, but I've been crying for about an hour now watching all these videos of people experiencing something for the first time that I take for granted everyday. My God bless all these researchers and doctors

Cochlear implants are a modern day miracle. I had surgery back in March of this year here in Cleveland and I'm doing quite well.

I have over 90% speech recognition and I feel good. I was scared about surgery but I have a great team for support that calmed me.

After the surgery I had very little pain and I was back on my feet within a few days.

I'm able to use the phone and watch TV without any problems. Music is still a challenge and it's the only challenge I really have left.

Cochlear implants aren't a cure for hearing restoration but it is pretty damn close.

Why would anyone down vote this? Thank you to the doctors working on this and this little girl who is courageous and fighting this head on.

I'm a mother of a candidate for CI...I'm nervous and always trying to find stories that can give me the peace of mind that my daughter will benefit from a CI. The process is not an easy one, but if it works - it will be worth every second invested.

Someone who has this, how did you afford it? I’m a college student that has been living with one sided deafness for 7 years now and I really want/need the surgery. But my private insurance will not pay for it as well as Medicaid.

I’m pretty sure I have minor hearing problems, my friends will say something and I won’t really hear them. I always end up saying “What?” Idk tho, maybe I just don’t pay attention.
