'Our son has made tremendous progress thanks to his cochlear implants. At the time of surgery he knew about 10 words and 30 signs. Within a year of the implants being fully mapped he had become a chatterbox who was able to engage with his friends, family and teachers.' #CIDay2024
'It has given her the option to hear hear tv shows and games and that can mean she can enjoy them more.' - Kate #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares #DiaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear #ImplanteCoclear
'My cochlear implants help me so much in everyday life. I love the fact that after 16 years with them I am still hearing new sounds! They help at work, as well as playing netball and acting on stage.'
'We ask ourselves, if she’s profoundly deaf, how can she dance with her friends? How can she play the cello in front of a huge school audience? Because she has the most amazing technology that is cochlear implants which she fully embraces, and she is proud to be deaf 🧏♀️ 🥰' Sian
'My son has had an implant when he was 5 years old, and he is now 28 years old. It helped him to develop his speech and also communicate with everyone around him. The cochlear implant was one of the best things that had happened to Hamza.' - Rhaelia #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay
'Sam's cochlear implants have made such a difference to his life. He is able to attend mainstream education with in-class support, and while he still relies on lip reading, BSL/SSE and gesture, having access to sound has helped his speech improve and make himself understood' Tom
'The early stages of my journey where quite difficult, but as time went by I slowly started to understand the world around me and progressed enormously. I'm proud to say I am studying Media Production at university and thoroughly enjoying it!' - Joshua #CIDay2024
'A CI gives him opportunities to raise expectations. A CI allows him to express who he is through colourful ci skins ( thanks to the amazing Hearos company ! )' - Siobhan #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares
'CI’s are a blessing and has changed the world for deaf people.' - Kate #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares #DiaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear #ImplanteCoclear
'I lost much of my hearing at age 5 due to measles. At age 59 I received a CI. This turned my life around and I have now enjoyed 20 years of usually stress-free communication. If only I could have had a CI in 1950!' - Gill #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024
'I have music in my life again because of having my CI! This is so important to me and especially when I am running solo. It gives me a lift in so many ways....emotionally and physically.' - Mel #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares
'My deafness doesn't stop me...' - Kaitlin #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares #DiaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear #ImplanteCoclear
'I am very proud to be deaf and happy to show my Cochlear Implants to the hearing world.' - Joshua #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares #DiaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear #ImplanteCoclear
'The difference is phenominal between wearing hearing aids and 2 Cochlear implants... In terms of confidence conversation , friendships, sport.' - Helen #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares #DiaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear
'I have Cochlear Implants and I love playing te guitar' - Lola #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares #DiaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear #ImplanteCoclear
'Cochlear Implants have allowed me to communicate with others and live an independent life. They have also allowed me to thrive academically and pursue a career in Medicine' - Libby
'Its life changing, it gives him confidence to follow and have conversations even in busy nosiey places, he is able to take part in lessons and is looking forward to his future Career.' - Theo #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay
'For our family, cochlear implants mean this: Connection. Safety. Mainstream school. Music. Equal access to opportunities. Unimaginable life changes - for the better!' - Tanya
'I really love my Cochlear Implants and I really love my fish' - Obi #InternationalCochlearImplantDay #CIDay2024 #CochlearImplantDay #implantescocleares #DiaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear #ImplanteCoclear
