A Child's Hearing Implant Journey

Latest MED-El Meet-Up

---

MED-EL are pleased to announce the latest in  their series of free webinars: An opportunity for those considering a cochlear implant for their child to learn more about life from a young person’s perspective.  This event is hosted by Freya, who is a bi-lateral cochlear implant user and her mother Lynn.

Freya failed the newborn hearing screening test and attended her local audiology department for further testing at the age of 6 weeks. She was fitted with a hearing aid at 14 months old and at the age of 2, Freya received her cochlear implants and currently uses two SONNET 2 on-the-ear audio processors.  During this webinar Freya will discuss her hearing journey, everyday life with cochlear implants, challenges she has faced along the way and her achievements to date.

Those considering a cochlear implant for their child, as well as young adults themselves are invited on Saturday 14th September 2024 11:00am – 11:45am, which will also include a Q&A session, where attendees will be able to ask any questions to Freya, Lynn, or a clinical specialist.
