🩷🤍💙Happy International Cochlear Implant Day!
And if you’ve ever sat in the booth holding your breath…
waited for that first activation…
or watched your child respond to a new sound for the first time…
You know how this whole experience matters.
Cochlear implants don’t “fix” hearing. They provide access.
Access to speech.
Access to learning.
Access to connection.
To the CI kids — you work so hard, and we see you.
To parents — the appointments, mapping visits, therapy sessions, troubleshooting… it’s a lot. You’re doing an amazing job.
To my dedicated and talented fellow audiologists, the SLPs, educational professionals, and surgeons— thank you for the life-changing work you do every day.
Every beep in the booth. Every map adjustment. Every new word. It all adds up.
It sometimes starts early and lasts a lifetime. We’re grateful for the technology, the teamwork, and the families who advocate so fiercely for their children. 🤍
