It has been about 7 years since I received my first cochlear implant. I chose Advanced Bionics in 2014 and received their Q70 processor at activation. This was their first processor based on Phonak technology, since both companies are owned by Sonova. The Q70 was a very good processor, and coupled with their HiRes Fidelity 120 programming strategy, I enjoyed good appreciation of music. I use the Optima-P strategy in particular. The processor was much smaller than the previous Harmony processor, and featured a much smaller, if fragile, t-mic2. The t-mic is arguably the best feature offered by AB. It is a microphone that hangs by a wire, and is positioned near the ear canal, allowing me to use headphones and mobile phones normally, by positioning the speaker where everyone else would hold it, instead of having to hold the speakers up near the top of the ear, where traditional mics are placed.

My deaf friend that I go out with a lot only points to his ear and makes the writing gesture without any eye contact with the hearing person. My friend has excellent and very understandable speech and lipreading skills, just like me, but never uses it. He never says the word "deaf," which I think he should. I've often wondered if he comes from the older generation where there is still a sense of shame about being deaf. He does not make eye contact with hearing people at all. It's very weird. I think his behavior confuses people so they don't understand clearly what the problem is and how to fix it.
I think it's very important to first communicate to a hearing person, especially a stranger, that you are deaf, and how you want to communicate with them.
