@emileesegura "Here is my experience of my audiology appointment for my cochlear implant upgrade to the N7 As you can see I was emotional when it first got turned on because it was overwhelming loud and sounded different. With time and adjustments it slowly started to sound more normal. At the end of the appointment I did some testing in the sound booth and everything looked good #deaf #deaftiktok #deafawareness #deafcommunity #deafculture #cochlearimplant #cochlear #nucleus7 #n7 #audiology #audiologist #audiologytiktok #mapping"

"I use an ear mold with my cochlear implant just for retention. Ive found that the ear mold is the best option for me to help keep my cochlear implant secure on my ear. Parents of deaf babies with cochlear implants let this video be a reminder that you should always be checking the settings in the app to make sure nothing got accidentally changed. If your baby is suddenly not liking the cochlear implant the first step should be to check the app. Check the programs the volume the paired accessories the audio sources such as telecoil etc #deaf #deafmom #deafandhearingcouple #deafcommunity"

"learning to hear and talk with a cochlear implant was no easy task it took a lot of work. I attended auditory verbal therapy (AVT) for X years to learn how to hear and talk with my cochlear implant. I owe a lot to my mom who took what she learned in those AVT sessions and applied it to my daily routines. She was implementing the strategies into play time meal time bedtime routine etc. From these videos you can see that I was allowed to sign in my sessions. My parents took the approach of using ASL as a bridge to help me learn how to hear and talk. We used ASL in the sessions when needed but"

"@cochlear released a new cochlear implant system called the Cochlear Nucleus Nexa System Its the worlds first and only smart cochlear implant system Heres the X big features you should know about: X. It has upgradable firmware - just like you can do software updates on your smart phone youll be able to get upgrades on the internal firmware when new technology becomes available. X. The MAP (individualized program for hearing) is now stored on the internal memory rather than the external processor. X. Its the smallest sound processor that is the most powerful and will provide all day hearing."

"Im still a big supporter of using ASL with deaf and hard of hearing kiddos with hearing devices like cochlear implants hearing aids and BAHAs it just might be more beneficial receptively than expressively. That was the case for me Once I learned how to hear and talk I just preferred to use spoken language as my preferred mode of expression. What has been your experience What worked best for you and your family #deaf #deafmom #deafbaby #asl #cochlearimplant"

"this is a daily occurrence now lol Cruz has now reached the stage where he is curious about my cochlear implant and wants to pull it off my ear. I dont blame him it is different and interesting One time I was in a work home visit over zoom and he quickly crawled over and pulled it off my ear 🤣 he is quick I try to have patience and let him explore it and learn. And I think its so cute that he knows it goes on my ear and tries to put it back on 🥹 I now have more empathy and understanding for all you parents with DHH kiddos with hearing devices They are quick to pull them off and its hard to"
