CIICA CONVERSATION: ADULTS WITH CI:WHAT SHOULD FUTURE CI USERS KNOW?

CIICA CONVERSATIONS have been having a series for adults with CI to discuss the issues important to them, and during our September Person Centered Care conversation, members reflected on “What I Wish I Had Known Before Cochlear Implantation,” describing valuable supports and information that did not occur during their “patient journey.”

Our upcoming conversation will turn our attention toward those who are considering their own journey. Our topic, “What Do You Think Future CI Users Should Know?” will provide an opportunity to share invaluable real-life advice and guidance to countless persons who don’t know what to ask or expect. As we say, you don’t know what you don’t know!

Both these questions were asked by participants to our CI ADVOCACY IN ACTION CONFERENCE IN MAY on the Talking Wall so this is the opportunity to address them.

Led by Kris English, with CI users, Rikie and Michelle, you will have your opportunity to help us define what those thinking about CI need to know.
