Why I wish I had gotten cochlear implants sooner

Fri, 13 Mar 2020  by  Carrie A. Leising, MA

I received my first cochlear implant (CI) in 2013 in my left ear and in 2018 in my right ear. But I wish I had gotten them sooner. I learned that this is a feeling shared by most people with CIs. When I asked why they waited, they said it was because all the unknowns of a CI overwhelmed them when making this decision.
