HEARING WITH A COCHLEAR IMPLANT

Landon's bilateral cochlear implant activation...
First the left ear...

And then the right ear...


I would like to thank Landon's mom for giving me permission to post these inspirational videos! Landon can hear, another successful activation! Now it's up to his parents to help him use his cis, which shouldn't be a problem since his mom is an amazing and determined woman! Jordan can hear...but to what degree? To give you an idea of how well he can hear with his implant, take the music test here. This website was suggested on the Yahoo Support Group learn2hear which is a great group for parents with babies or small children using the oral approach or auditory-verbal therapy with or without ASL. In all yahoo support groups of which I am a member, parents' communication methods and choices are respected. For the record...both Jordan and I got one wrong!
