Cochlear Implant Patients

Hi

I went to meet other Cochlear Implant patients last Friday (28th Sep) and it was truly amazing to meet them and hear all about their CI experience.

Wow, everyone is not the same but different, how they felt when they were switched on but most of them said "it was the best thing that CI has done for them".

Not everyone was scary but they were looking forward to get back to their normal social life and hear the things that they have not heard before!

It was a mixture of young and old at the support group and there were two of us who haven't had the CI yet and one was a bit serious as she was not sure what to do but after hearing from other CI users she felt better and more confident so we'll hear soon whether she's decided to have it or not!

Please also support the Ear Trust as we need a lot of money for a brand new centre and hopefully this means more people can have the Cochlear Implant young or old.
