🎯 Big hearing milestones start with small, intentional goals. Getting the most out of your cochlear implant is about practicing with purpose. Here is how to set up your listening practice, or auditory training, routine for success in 4 quick steps: 1. Choose your focus: Pick 1 to 3 personal listening goals that matter to you right now. 2. Find your tool: Choose an app, or resource that targets those goals. 3. Commit to a time: Dedicate a focused 15 to 30 minutes a day to practice. 4. Track the journey: Keep a journal to log your progress and notice changes. 📝 Grab Your Journal: Prompts to Start Tonight Take notes and answer these three simple questions: • What are 1–3 specific listening situations I want to make easier or more enjoyable? • How long can I realistically commit to practicing each day, and when will I do it? • What is one small victory or positive change I noticed in my hearing this week? 🔗 Read the full guide for more trainin resources: www.advancedbionics.com/com/en/home/communities/1/ab-connections-blog/blog-articles/auditory-skills-training-for-adults-le-beau

“Samarth was born profoundly deaf in both ears and received AB cochlear implants at just 13 months old. I truly believe his implants have given him opportunities he wouldn’t have otherwise had. Now 12, Samarth has always loved being in the water. He started swimming lessons at 4½, and his passion has only grown stronger. In 2025, he competed in the London Para Youth Games, representing Tower Hamlets. He achieved an incredible gold medal in the 25m freestyle with a time of 19.34 seconds, and placed second in the 25m backstroke. Although an administrative error meant he missed out on receiving his silver medal, we are so proud of his achievements. He was also felicitated by the Mayor of our borough. This success has motivated him even more—he now trains three times a week and has joined a competitive club, Sharks Swimming. He’s currently preparing for the 2026 GB Deaf Swimming National Championships. Having waterproof batteries means Samarth can hear his coaches, follow instructions, and respond to the whistle—something that’s made a huge difference. Swimming just wouldn’t be the same without his AquaKit.” We’re so proud of Samarth and can’t wait to see what he achieves next 🌟 Find more stories from people with cochlear implants: www.advancedbionics.com #LifewithABCIs #HearingLossWontStopMe #ABConnections #CochlearImplants Note: The views expressed in this post are those of the author.
