Our survey winner celebrates with champagne
Thank you to everyone who completed our questionnaire, it was great to find out more about our readers. Melanie Jewett from Southampton was the lucky winner of our champagne prize draw.
Mel has just been implanted with a Nucleus 5 Cochlear Implant which will be switched on next week. She says, "I am a little nervous but more excited than anything.
"I went for the Cochlear Nucleus as I liked the look of it, its size and because it's good for sports as it has gortex - I run a lot."
Comments
Well done.
And all the best to your switch on.

Very disappointed today,had my first appointment and i thought in went well, but the women said i was border line and will not be offered a implant,i was very upset about this,i will turn 50 this week and have had hearing problems since my teens,i hate going out where there will be groups,the loss i have is not suitable for hearing aids although i have 2, they cannot be set up for my loss and are set up to the best they can help me which is not good, i have read about a lot on implants and people with similar problems have had them and are now very happy and hearing things they have never heard before, i was thinking of getting a 2nd opinion, but i do not know if i want to go thought the tests again,very unhappy and sad,thought this would be a turning point in my life
