New York Times: Falls Can Kill You. Here’s How to Minimize the Risk.

This video features Chris who traveled internationally in 2021 to get a bilateral cochlear implant from Dr. Ruffin. It explains the activation process of a cochlear implant. We discuss how bilateral implants improve hearing in noise, sound direction, and overall ease of hearing. Chris shares his personal experiences with his implant in music appreciation, relationships, and work.

For severe hearing loss, hearing aids aren't the best option. For many, a cochlear implant has a greater chance of improving hearing. Read on to hear the perspective of a cochlear implant surgeon who also has cochlear implants.

There's simple and highly effective treatment for stuffy noses, allergies, and chronic sinus problems. And it's all over the counter!

It is no longer true that cochlear implants destroy residual hearing. Soft surgery results in atraumatic electrode insertion. This can preserve residual hearing. This hearing is useful whether the hearing is "usable" or not. Preserved hearing means less scar inside the cochlea so the cochlear implant can work better. If you have usable hearing, you may wear a cochlear implant and a hearing aid in the same ear. Atraumatic insertion also improves balance outcome. With less scar inside the cochlea, you may be able to adopt new and upcoming technologies for improved hearing.
