Dear Nelle, please post more BSL videos. This one was very clear and informative. Thank you.

Dude! If this is the perspective of listening to music with such an implant, then I want to shoot myself. I really hope this is just a glimpse of a temporary stage.

Profound deafness isn’t real they are Neanderthals! Their mothers shoved their heads up their vaginas after birth in hopes they would want to preform oral sex on them! Stop this madness!! Expose Saskatchewan for what it is!!

I am an SLP teaching deaf/HOH students how to speak more clearly. I am always looking to learn more, and your video was very helpful. The only difference I heard with your CI's off was that you left off a few of the high frequency sounds, such as K, S, and T. Your speech is beautiful.

I very much appreciate this video! It provided some great insight into what to do and not to do, thank you so much! I am in the beginning phases of making a story with a completely deaf herbalist as the protagonist in a low fantasy world. I am personally leaning towards her not having any hearing aids or implants, so I was curious what other ways she might be able to communicate with those that do not know signing. Particularly, she will be forced to team up with a Hunter who is too impatient to write things down. I want there to be tension between them but I also want to find a reasonable way for their relationship to develop as their communication develops.

So i'm a pretty avid world builder, so anyone reading this will probably by missing out on a lot of detail without me writing a literal novel but i am very starved of any feedback for my work, which has led me here in regards to a character of mine with moderate hearing loss. He has HAs, but doesn't like to use them, so one of the questions i want to ask is if it's ok to describe someone's BTE hearing aids as tangeled or "Dingy"/"Grimy", not to insult the character or to showcase them in a bad light, but to show that he doesn't like to use them/doesn't care to maintain them? Also, he lost some of his hearing due to a faulty grenade exploding while he was holding it, but initially, he ended up with profound hearing loss from that, so i wanna ask if you think it if could be offensive to some for him to recover up to moderate?

I wonder if they will ever incorporate binaural information onto the sound so that you can focus on individual sound sources.(edit, i understand that two implants would be better for the stereo aspect, and much better for the binaural cues).

Your sperch is excellent. Did you receive the implants young?

Hi, Do you know hearing aid ear holding clip available in UK

This popped up on my recommended page and I think it's pretty interesting to talk about! I'm not autistic or deaf and I only know English. I think in images, feelings, and words. I can hear words in my head, but I don't always think in words. A lot of the time, when I am thinking of something I will visualize it and experience feelings around it. I feel like I intuitively know what my emotions are and what they mean, but I sometimes have difficulty putting them into words. So, it's a bit of a mix for me.

Thanks for sharing this, Nelle. <3

Woow, that's so interesting! I have a similar process of thinking (abstracts, images, words on writing, the way words feel). Suspect I'm autistic as well. I'm a hearing person who switches between languages a lot, fluent in 3. To me speaking second language is about mastering speech patterns and music (pauses, tones, intonations), and words just fall into their places. Sometimes, when I struggle I translate words in my head, flashcard style :D Thank you for making and sharing this video! 🍁

Thank you!

This was brilliant and excellent explanations. The only thing is that you said two reasons to not get one are that it isn’t suitable, or you don’t want one, and they are the only two reasons. But the third separate reason, as you mentioned later, is that some cannot afford, so I suppose that is a third separate reason. All the questions were really interesting.

Sometimes i will temporarily lose hearing in one ear,.. but i want to know if anyone else has the feeling of hollowness in a deaf ear? I hate that feeling. Its worse than having mild tinnitus.

i just having bad days and lost of hearing in addition to tinnitus. not only that im experience dizzinez and what not.. cochlear implant was discussed and when i watched this video i knew and pointed at this video and said: I told you.. i knew you would hear people talk litk robotic kind of and i said to my sister: What if i hear you as a man voice? soooo, i dont know wherer i want this but i have sevear hearing lost and almost hear nothing. This seems my only choice, so im bit nervous and bit sad when you said you wont hear as you did before, i am gonna miss the difference.. the variaty of sound.

Thank you for creating this, very helpful I have a scene where my Deaf MC gets irritated and takes off their cochlear before cleaning up after dinner -- absolutely going to be throwing that thing on the fridge now 💜

Hey Nelle!! Nice to see your another video. Keep doing hard work and keep sharing your life. It’s very motivating for me😊.

Hi Nelle. Deborah here Great review from you and your Dad. One question; can you adjust high and low frequencies or is it just volumes? Many thanks

❤

I think you might have vestibular schwannoma, known as acoustic neuroma. You should go and get an MRI of your inner ear right away

Not really sure where I would fall within the deaf community so my thoughts may be irrelevant (for context, I have bilateral moderate reverse slope hearing loss and wear hearing aids). That said, I’ve made the decision to learn sign language for another method of communication in the event I fully lose my hearing in the future. I don’t really care either way whether the instructor is hearing or not, as long as they know the language fluently or at an advanced level.

I am new in my hearing loss journey. Diagnosed with SSHL just 2 months ago. I am in the process of considering a CI. I have profound loss in one ear without any loss in my other. It’s very hard for me to understand how my brain will process sounds. Do sounds still sound like this for you or does it change with time and adjustments? Sorry for the dumb questions! I’m just overwhelmed at this point!

This video was really informative! I was diagnosed with moderate reverse slope hearing loss earlier this year and my hearing aids only do so much. These devices look like they could be incredibly helpful! I’ve been relying on noise canceling headphones to help hear lectures for my online classes. Even with closed captions, I’m still missing vital information. This could be the answer to that problem! Thank you for this video!

Do you ship to the U.S.? I like the idea of the communication cards!

I’m always too quiet! which always confused me bc i think it’s expected to talk louder if you can hear yourself less. but I think I hear my own voice through my bones so I always think it’s louder than it is, and when I’m wearing my hearing aid I can kind of hear everything (including my voice) from an ‘outside perspective’ if that makes any sense lol so I actually speak audibly!

I like being able to (somewhat) decide when I want to hear the world or not, especially since I have sensory sensitivity to sound bc I’m neurodivergent :)

My girlfriend just got in a terrible car accident by a deaf driver. They couldn’t hear the horns in front of them…

Well deserved 🎉❤ congratulations my dear friend 🎉❤

Hi nelle🌹well done for launching your new shop with deaf products and other things! I don't have a working printer yet so cannot print those off,do you have badges that you clip on to clothes? There are some great things on your shop,I do like the shoes so I hope you get a lot of sales,it's getting close to you getting your 2nd implant,I am happy to have contributed a little bit towards it! You will make the most of a 2nd implant,your young and your life going forward will be a lot better,I know what a struggle it was with hearing aids,I am at the end of the road with mine😥🦻🦻

Nelle, congratulations on starting your business, I love this idea and hope that people take advantage of your products!! You're a great role model ❤🌹

Hi Nelle, just watched your video on robotic speech sound. My new implant, activated two months ago, has normal speech sound not the robotic sound you demonstrated; however, I experience sound feedback and whistling, which over whelms the speech and is very annoying. Have you experienced a whistling feedback, and if so, how did your audiologist fix? I also have a very low static hum in background and Currently my Oticon hearing aid on my left ear balances out the sound but, like you I miss bits of conversations in noisy crowded rooms. Also liked your video on how you’ve implemented the various accessories, I need to get on that.

Super video❤❤😊😊

You're awesome Nelle! ❤

Good tips. I've avoided getting my hair done for the last 4 years. Taking off the hearing aid and not having an understanding hairdresser was very stressful. The last few visits were not pleasant, so I've pretty much given up. Maybe I'll try again if I can find the right one.

Hi Nelle! I’ve been watching your videos since I found your channel last week. They’re really great! I have a unilateral hearing loss due to a Cholesteatoma. I had 2 ear surgeries this year to address the issues that brought along with it. My HL journey sort of catapulted me into the Hearing Care world because I find it fascinating. So much so that I decided to change my career! So, I’m currently in school to earn my license in Hearing Aid dispensing! It’s really interesting and quite valuable to listen to your experience with your cochlear implant. Thank you for sharing with us! I hope you’re able to get your second one too 🙂

Hi nelle🦻welcome again to you new/old channel,I cannot believe how long ago the first video was!being a hearing aid wearer with a profound loss I thought I could give advice to someone newly deafend and wearing hearing aids for the first,having things in your ears all day and everyday must have been a shock,the good news was you got fast tracked for a CI,everytime i see a new video it reminds me to contribute to your go fund me page for a 2nd CI as the NHS will only fund one,you are within touching distance at £27K it will make your life so much better,you will be a full cyborg with 2 CI's so I look forward to following your journey with the small knowledge I have helped you! At 21 having lost the majority of your hearing must have been really hard to take,it's good you have parents that want to help you! Here's to your next CI surgery and hearing things you miss 🦻🦻🌹♥️

What is the hearing aid make and model in your left ear?

Was lovely seeing you do video and doing so well in life! It's good to see your still using a hearing aid in the non implanted ear! Is that a different hearing aid? And also is it keeping your brain active for when you get the other ear implanted? I hope get it done soon as your go fund me is doing so well! Do you ever think if you had not lost your hearing that you would still be working for the dentist? Losing your hearing has opened up a new world for you,going to university,learning BSL and other languages! Would you please think about doing another CI video showing how far you have come with it and if the implant team are happy with your progress! I got turned down for mine which a lot of the CI group on Facebook cannot understand why with my hearing loss! So we go again,do you have a target date to implant the other ear? All the best for the future 🦻🦻♥️

I watched like the first 15-20 seconds of your video and I want to marry you

I really enjoy your videos and I hope they continue so please don't make videos while driving. No matter how careful you are your ability to focus on the road is comprised. You put yourself and others at risk. It makes me nervous just watching.

Thank you Nelle, very good informative Videos, I have a similar hearing loss to you in both ears, just had a cochlear implant surgery, and being switched on next week. So your demonstrations have been very helpful.

Gosh, so many overlaps. Female, autism spectrum, anxiety and an autoimmune life changing conditions (total hair loss, in my case). You are so inspiring and I love your voice! What an irony that you can't quitw hear your own pleasant voice. No idea why TH-cam autoplayed this but it brightened my journey home from work. Best fron Sweden.

Oh darn, auto-immune!!! Cause of so many problems!

Hard work to be deaf! But Nelle speaks beautifully - would have never guessed there was a hearing problem.Just sounds educated, intelligent and charming.

Absolutely brilliant no drama summary of this. NHS being stingy and the politicians prioritising weapons snd people in other countries more.

Wait, am I the only one hearing voices and things in the background?

My hearing is going. I wear a hearing aid. I have no hearing in my right ear but I lip read . I can’t do so have a sign language have a learning disability and it’s hard to learn.

Are you able to cover the cochlear with your hair so it can’t be seen?
