Professional oboist and CI user Russell from the UK lost his hearing due to a rare disease affecting the inner ear. In this article, Russell tells us all about his decision to get a cochlear implant, how his RONDO 3 helps him in daily life, and how he manages to make music despite hearing loss.

A comparison between cochlear implants and hearing aids comes down to one key difference: Conventional hearing aids (air conduction hearing aids) amplify sound, while cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve fibers.
