Hi. Meet Miss Rehana from Nairobi, Kenya. A woman, a wife and a mother. Has been living life in Nairobi with everything and a strong will to face the world inspite of hearing aid problem since childhood. Upon meeting us it’s like saying “Sometimes you find things and they change your life”…
And may be the reason she decided to come to us and get the hearing aid situation sorted. Got herself checked and everything upon discussion, opted for a permanent solution to undergo Cochlear implant surgery over the digital hearing aid option.
A cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted neuroprosthetic device that provides a sense of sound to a person with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implants bypass the normal acoustic hearing process, instead replacing it with electric hearing. Namely, the sound sensation comes from the sound that is converted to electric signals which directly stimulate the auditory nerve. The brain adapts to the new mode of hearing, and eventually can interpret the electric signals as sound and speech.
After the surgery which took only 1 day’s admission in the hospital and adjustment’s of the sound frequencies – I asked her what kind of sound would make her feel good and she was being very adorable in saying that the clear sound of the laughter of her kids would just make her day and post surgery onwards it’s going to be awesome. Only Awesome. Nothing in between.
