Un-Sound
Everything related to hearing loss, hearing aids, cochlear implants, and the world of sound in general, from the perspective of a professional recording engineer and sound designer whose ears let him down! I'm not an audiologist or hearing professional. I'm just a guy who has thought long and hard about sound for his whole life, and wants to apply that perspective to the world of hearing loss, while exploring various options for dealing with it. I'll talk about hearing aids and cochlear implants, and companies like Advanced Bionics, Med-El and Cochlear Americas, and share my experiences from assessment, through surgery, activation and rehabilitation.
