After hearing normally from the first 55 years of life but then due to traumatic brain injury and long-term coma which I woke up from 100% deaf profound, I do now see this as a life-changing disability. But I am also sure it differs person to person.
Brand new here. 12/2022. I received Advanced Bionics Nadia CI about 18 months ago. I am still going through issues as a newly deaf person and I'm trying to reach out to others in similar situations.
