The time has finally arrived for you to connect and discover the world of sound with your cochlear implant. Many of you may be wondering how successful will I be with the cochlear implant? Success is defined differently be each of us. For some, it may be to understand without lipreading, for others it may be using the telephone, and for others it may be hearing environmental sounds.

While many tests can assess your speech perception ability, there is no test to measure your personal definition of success. Success therefore needs to be defined with your unique background and personal goals in mind.

When you choose a cochlear implant, you choose to start a life-long journey to hearing. As part of that journey, Advanced Bionics is dedicated to supporting you through our programs and services. We are committed to helping you reach your unique hearing potential and maximize your success with the cochlear implant.

Your efforts in practicing listening skills are key to maximizing your hearing potential. Advanced Bionics brings you several rehabilitation resources to help you make the most of your cochlear implant.

In addition, we encourage you to stay connected with us and other cochlear implant recipients by joining the Bionic Ear Association and visiting HearingJourney.com.
