ok, so i have been doing research on the cochlear implant since I am considering getting one (it won't be for a while! haha, but I am beginning to research process now at least...) and I've been told about all the pros and the positive things, and good experiences. And call me a cynic, but i...

Who here wears Oticon Digifocus II hearing aids?

I am wondering about something a bit specific: Who here is deaf/HoH since birth/childhood, has worn hearing aids, but then got the cochlear implant later in life, like a teenager or better yet as an adult? (NOT as an infant or a child). I've been profound all my life, since I was 1 yr old. i...
