Why My Hearing Sounds More Natural | Cochlear Implant Story (Ep. 7)
In this cochlear implant patient story, Nandini shares how anatomy-based fitting (ABF) transformed the way she hears with her cochlear implant. Drawing from her experience as both a patient and an audiologist, she explains the difference between standard mappings and personalized sound with anatomy-based fitting. Her cochlear implant experience highlights how advanced technology can bring cochlear implant recipients closer to natural hearing.
