Advanced Bionics is connecting cochlear implant recipients and candidates from across the country through its new "Connect to Mentor" Web site.Valencia, Calif. (PRWEB) May 18, 2009 -- In the first such online community of its kind, Advanced Bionics, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of cochlear implants (or "bionic ears"), is connecting cochlear recipients and candidates from across the country through its new "Connect to Mentor" Web site. The new site, part of the BEA (Bionic Ear Association) Mentor Program, allows cochlear implant candidates to contact volunteer "mentors" and communicate directly with hearing professionals.
"Advanced Bionics has an actively engaged population of 6,000 BEA members," said CEO Jeffrey Greiner of Advanced Bionics. "In developing this Web site, the company realized that its most valuable assets are cochlear implant recipients themselves. This site allows them to share their experiences, offer advice to others who might be thinking of being implanted, and help them navigate the process from surgery to entering the hearing world."

Stephanie and I (Hawkins) are in the process of becoming mentors! I think that we are going to get an AB Corporate tour in November. Hope you are well.
