My son Rudra was 3 years old when he had a fever. After some days, we noticed that he was not listening to us. We brought him to an ENT specialist, and that's how we found out that he has profound loss in his both ears. We tried hearing aids but there was no result. So at the audiologist’s suggestion, we decided for our son to have cochlear implant surgery.
The next decision was which brand of the CI we should give our son. We decided for AB because we got personal recommendations from people we knew, and AB has more technology updates and newer technology. So we decided to give our son the best. We took Sky CI Marvel for him, and I must say that it was best decision.
As we live in India, that product was not yet available so he was first using Naida CI Q until he got his Sky CI Marvel processor. We were amazed. When we went out, my son was even hearing the sound of small bugs which came out at night. This sound is very soft but he heard it. We are thankful that we have such innovation that changed his life. He goes to mainstream school and is doing well. He enjoys music like any one of us.
