Quite surreal revisiting this blog I wrote having now been implanted. Just over 4 months since my switch on and I have no regrets. Happy #CochlearImplantday

For #CochlearImplantDay we're revisiting this great blog by @Michaellaw_7 👂

He writes about using his own past fear of CIs to help his patients overcome theirs 💪

@SairaHussain90 @BAAudiology @MiruPillai @VictoriaAdshead @LouisRi20461313 @siddhrah Feel lucky to be a part of this committe. Exciting times ahead!

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@ambideafkid Sadly yes - it does still happen time to time. Like you said it’s a habit and so it feels normal doing it sometimes

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@Quinns_quirks Because I still have some useable hearing in my better ear so I felt a bimodal solution would be best for me. I’ve been using phonak hearing aids for years and their partnership with AB was very appealing.

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

Update. I’ll now be doing this for a year. It will be the first time cochlear behaviour is measured on a daily basis for an extended period of time!

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

After 12 weeks, today is my last day of taking daily objective measurements using @AdvancedBionics AIM tablet for a research study. What a journey it’s been!

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@AnnMarieDicki12 Thank you 😊

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

Right ear aided 1 week post CI switch on AB word score: 17%

Right ear aided 3 months post switch on: 69%

Still some way to go but that’s some phenomenal progress already! #Cochlearimplants

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@Yasir_Haniff Thank you! I’m excited for what’s to come

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@AnnMarieDicki12 Not sure where yet. I will share when I know.

In the patient chair once again 😏 (third mapping session) #CI #cochlearimplant

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@SarahChapman30 It is hard work but I’m sure it will be worth it!

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@SarahChapman30 Making progress but very frustrating at times! You said something in one of your blogs that resonated with me about how you were pleased with the progress you were making but others around you didn’t seem to notice.

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

@radtech2020 Great stuff. Hopefully more people can say what you’ve just said!

[Michael Lawrence @Michaellaw_7]

Just had my first conversation with a patient about pursuing cochlear implants while actually wearing a CI 😳
