I need listening practice for my new cochlear implant but I'm on my own

Audiologist Monica Bray with Radio 2RPH's Nicci Lindemann and Peter WorthingtonTo help you improve your listening skills, after regaining your hearing through a cochlear implant, it is best to practice with a partner, friend or anyone who can spend time with you on a daily basis.

However, there are many implant recipients who spend most of their time on their own, and for them the listening practice is virtually non-existent.

Creative assistance has been found through a radio station which caters for the visually impaired!

They read articles 24 hours every day from newspapers, magazines and broadcast overnight programs received by satellite from the BBC.   With few exceptions, everyone can improve their listening comprehension through practice.

Your audiologist will be most impressed, and you might well be entertained!
