このコンテンツについて
I discovered Smriti through posts on LinkedIn. I was thoroughly impressed with her drive and ambition. Never slowed down by her bilateral cochlear implants, I asked her to sit down for an interview.
With a hearing loss at birth and a combination of hearing aids and speech therapy, her parents perceived the limits of that option and decided to have her receive a cochlear implant when she was four a half year old.
Smriti discuss the challenges and her parent’s decision to get the second side implanted when she was ten. She talks about the differences in rehabilitation for the second side.
Although I have interviewed parents of pediatric cochlear implant recipients, I was glad to have the opportunity to hear the story firsthand from a woman now in her twenties.
I hope candidates contemplating a second cochlear implant will find inspiration in Smriti’s story. I know I did. TRANSCRIPT IS AVAILABLE AT COCHLEARIMPLANTBASICS.COM
