What Does Hearing Through a Cochlear Implant Sound Like? Cochlear implants do not generate sound like a listening to support would. As a substitute, they zap your cochlea.

The name of this video should be: an explanation of what a cochlear implant sounds like.
Shes not saying it right lol
This video really needs subtitles so deaf people wanting to get an implant can get this info 🙏🏼
I could hear before I lost my hearing so when I got cochlear implant my brain already knew how to register what I was hearing normally but I’ve heard of I’ve never heard before then it’s very metallic
I became profoundly deaf in my right ear about a year and a half ago, apparently due to my bout with COVID as it happened concurrently. Yesterday, January 5, 2022, I had my cochlear implant turned on for the first time. At this point I am very disappointed as the sound quality is nothing short of horrible. I was expecting a little better initially. I understand I should expect better results as time goes on and my brain adapts to the new sound. It does pick up even very faint sounds such as a clock ticking across the room but every sound sounds very high-pitched and shrill, almost like hearing glass breaking constantly unless the environment is quiet. All sounds through the cochlear implant seem to be an octave above the actual sound. Hearing and understanding speech is very difficult and requires much concentration. It sounds high-pitched and without any emotion, again shrill, distorted and robotic but I can hear it modulating. It's the modulation which gives, besides the context, the greatest clue as to what is being said. I invested a lot into this device, monetarily, emotionally and physically; therefore, I intend to work hard in the coming months/years the greatest success with it.
Why do you have a ring in your nose 🐷
I have Cochlear Implants and the only known scientific way to hear the exact same way as a hearing person is to have tinnitus which I have, which means I am profoundly deaf therefore I can differentiate pitches and sounds for example tonal languages. If you are COMPLETELY deaf like my friend you cannot differentiate tonal and pitch sounds, I am quite vocal and only started learning sign language when I was in year 3 I think if I’m correct, same with my friend. Short story to hear “properly” You have to have tinnitus.
god, you film this entire video and don't even let us hear an approximation of what it does sound like. this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dhTWVMcpC4 actually helps. your video was useless and your title is misleading
Loved your explanation 🙂.
Lmao “cock”lear
2:10 So if I were to compare it so sight, would a cochlear implant be like a pixelated or blurry image where normal hearing would be a clear image?
You should make a new video I just got a new implant and chances are the guy you talked to has an older implant the new implants now are amazing they cover pitch and timbre and technology that isolates someone’s voice over a large crowd, they even Bluetooth to your phone for direct audio streaming from your phone,
Ever wondered what it would be like to deaf? Watch the 'Hear Me Out' documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdZQjx6cBC8
You would be much more credible if you took that hook out of your nose.
When first turn on first timers you will hear at first it going to sound like muffled noise like duck quacking sounds like trying to quack while underwater lol or hear extremely hard S or “ch” a lot of “ ding” and it takes about a few weeks to few months those things to fade away slowly and all the pressure improves and reduces from your head and it starts to clear things up after about half a year to full year in.
baloney. I have cochlear implants and things sound very close to what they sounded like before when I had normal hearing in one ear. Yes I have some big advantages (polyglot and musically trained so my brain knows how to interpret sound and re-wire itself very fast) but no, cochlear implants don't necessarily sound very different than natural hearing except in a few situations. most speech sounds EXACTLY like before, and I mean EXACTLY. my wife's voice sounds exactly like before. Complex music can be a bit of a pain, long sounds (violin for example) are harder to percieve than short spikey sounds like percussion or piano or gunshots, etc, but that is true for normal hearing too
I had this operation 7th October and I wait for the first succeed and hearing my left ear
yes cock lear implants
as a person with cochlear implants i can confirm
This is why I get frustrated when hearing people just assume Cochlear Implants fix everything
Well the title was incorrect. Should of played the sound
