Sonova and its brands provide leading hearing technology for its customers.

💬 I caught measles when I was approximately 5 years old, which damaged the nerves in both my ears and left me profoundly deaf. I got my first hearing aids when I was about 10 years old. Over the years my hearing deteriorated to the level that I had only about 5% hearing in my right ear and 3% hearing in my left ear. I became very good at lip reading. In 2009, I began to feel a bit down as I was starting to feel ""excluded"" from a lot of things. The manager at my hearing centre noticed that I wasn't my normally happy self and put me forward as a cochlear implant candidate. I was accepted to have a cochlear implant, and four months after my referral I had my operation. I was switched on 4 weeks after my operation and I have never looked back. An amazing world of sound was opened up for me. I love every moment in the hearing world with my Advanced Bionics CI. I'm now part of the wonderful world of sound 🎵
