Hi, my name is Samantha. I'm 24. I've been deaf my whole life and I've been using a cochlear implant since I was 5. I'm looking for other young individuals with a cochlear implant that I can connect with! There's not a lot of people that are deaf in my area and I would love to meet some.
 
Welcome!!!! Wish I knew of young adult CI users! How sad it is that you've not met other dhh kids......
 
You should contact the cochlear implant companies (Cochlear, MedEl, Advanced Bionics) and ask them to connect you with their reps in your area. The reps should be able to connect you with other young adult CI users.
Also, contact HLAA (Hearing Loss Association of America) for local chapters. They too should be able to connect you with others.
