Your detailed experiences with your prep, your surgery and your activation are SO helpful to read. I may be a candidate for this procedure in the future and this is all extremely valuable information. Thank you so much!

This is the unofficial rule of "Each One; Reach One". It really does help to share our experiences even though they are not all alike. Prior to my CI, I had met many others with CIs through HLAA. It gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. So glad I did.

Good luck in your journey. Everyone reacts differently, yet there are so many similarities it is nice to have a feeling of what to expect and/or look for. I have a text friend (actually my daughter's friend who first brought up the cochlear implant to Robin. She had the first one done years ago and things didn't go well - then she switched to Mayo (AZ) and she said the difference in care was amazing. And the groups on the internet are great sources for information.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
