Runner-up, 15-18 years
In 10 years cochlear implant companies should change the processor and the coil into one device like the magnet but little bit bigger. If the person doesn’t want other people to know they are deaf, this should be ideal. I think this is suitable for 16+ because when you are younger it is important that people know that you are deaf and understand as well but when you become 16 and you don’t want other people to know your deaf then it is your choice.
The other reason why a small device would be ideal for sport is because when you leave school and do sport it is very unlikely to be as aggressive as when you were in school. Your small device would be better because it is lighter and also it would be easier than the current one is around your ear. When you are running it can fall off so I think it is better to have a small device for sport.
This new small device could be rechargeable for the whole day. Every night it can be charged and ready for the next morning.
Please could the cochlear implant companies work together for the future of deaf children to make our life easier because then they will have lots of ideas for the new deaf children.
