Thankful to be able to Hear and Understand my Grandkids

Wayne struggled to hear with hearing aids, and now, with his cochlear implants, enjoys time with his grandson:

"Using bilateral cochlear implants from Advanced Bionics enables me to hear and understand my grandson from wherever he may be. Carrying on a conversation with other relatives and friends not even in sight is totally amazing, compared to when I wore hearing aids.“

If you are struggling to hear, even with the most powerful hearing aids, you are not alone.

Most cochlear implant recipients have been in your situation and want you to know that a solution beyond hearing aids exists. Cochlear implant recipients are thankful and they’re happy to share their stories to help you understand how hearing better with cochlear implants has made their lives so much richer. They have regained the ability to rejoin in family conversations, use the telephone again, rediscover their favorite music, and enjoy the soft sounds of nature because they hear their best with cochlear implants from Advanced Bionics.
