Tell us a bit about yourself
I wore hearing aids for over 30 years and my hearing gradually decreased to the point that I could no longer socialize or continue working among other things. Like most hard of hearing individuals, I was hesitant to proceed with a Cochlear implantable hearing device. I received my first Nucleus 7 sound processor in 2018 and my second Nucleus 8 sound processor in 2023.
I now enjoy engaging in social activities, watching TV, hearing on the phone, listening to music, hearing nature sounds again (especially birds) and many more hearing pleasures. It is so wonderful to hear all the sounds that I was missing for a long time.
I am a U.S. Navy Veteran, and I received my hearing aids and Cochlear Implants through the VA. I especially enjoy working with fellow veterans. My only regret is that I didn't receive my Cochlear implants sooner than I did. My hobbies are woodworking and being with my grandkids.
