"Thanks to the CI, I'm fully back in life!"

My name is Matthias, I live in Vorarlberg and I am a bilateral cochlear implant user. I was born hearing, but I already started to lose my hearing at school. I only made it through school with the help of tricks. From 1993 I wore conventional hearing aids, but the hearing loss continued to progress. At some point, my family came to the realization that I couldn't go on like this and I was ready for a CI. I was implanted on the left in fall 2017 and on the right in fall 2018 in Innsbruck.

My cochlear implants gave me my full life back. From the first second of the initial fitting, I knew it was worth going through with the implantation. I enjoy going through the world hearing. It's amazing!
