"I'm able to go out with my friends again, go to a restaurant and cafes again, and participate in church activities, go into noisy environments. It's still hard, but I can do it, which opens up so many more possibilities."
- Bernie, a bilateral Cochlear™ Nucleus® Implant recipient
Bernie shares his experience of upgrading to the CochlearTM Nucleus® 8 Sound Processor and how it has made hearing better not just at work, but also at home!
Updating his sound processors has been an important part of Bernie’s ability to work as a journalist, as well as his enjoyment of life. Having started with the Freedom® Sound Processor, before using the Nucleus 5, Nucleus 6 and now Nucleus 8 Sound Processors, Bernie has noticed a significant improvement each time.
