I don't know much about these so excuse my ignorance, but do things sound the same as normal hearing? Also how does the piece over the implant stay attached to your head, magnets?
Disheartening to hear about it being shunned by the deaf community. I kind of understand but they shouldn't be so judgey of other people's life choices. Are normal hearing aids shunned too? If it were me I'd want to be able to hear my partner and kids say things like "I love you", and be able to hear the inflection in their voice which is a large part of speech.
