Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Hello-srwalker here. I’m a cochlear implant recipient after SNHL occurred progressively in both ears. Living life as a deaf adult is extremely hard, but I’ve no choice! Learning as I go! I’ve connected to other groups and have found some useful info. Hoping to continue to learn how others cope and deal with this world of ours.

How are you doing with the cochlear implant? Are you bilateral or do you use a hearing aid in the other ear?
I'm deaf without my CI and HA, and struggle sometimes in noisy environments unless I'm using a streamer or other device that brings desired sound direct to my CI and HA. My social life continues, thanks to the technology available.
Do you use Zoom? There are several groups of people with CIs, hearing loss, etc. that meet on zoom with automatic captioning. Hearing other people's experiences helps a ton.
