Cochlear Implants

The church I attend with my wife just redid their sanctuary and installed a hearing loop. Now, I hear every word of the sermon crystal clear. It's like it goes right to my cochlear implant (and without any background or other noise). The difference in UNDERSTANDING and COMPREHENSION is remarkable. I can't stress it enough. I went from understanding 75%-80% of the sermon with my cochlear implant on Manual mode to understanding nearly 100% of each sermon on Telecoil mode. And, when I need to talk to someone next to me, I switch to M/T (manual/telecoil) and then can hear the person next to me while still hearing the sermon. The difference is amazing.

Hearing loops greatly increase the usefulness and utility of hearing aids and implants. Are you aware that the Hearing Loss Association of America has developed a whole Toolkit for Hearing Loop advocacy? Their members are working to foster more loop installs. We could use your help. 🙂 See http://www.hearingloss.org
