Does a cochlear implant affect your singing voice?

Cochlear Implants
#1

I often sing in church (it’s always been my passion) and am wondering if a cochlear implant would affect how I hear my own voice. Will it affect how I sing?

Unless I’m at the point of not getting any improvement with hearing aids at all, I think I might not go with an implant.

I’ve been singing all my life and it’s a very big part of my life and my faith.

Have any of you experienced singing after having an implant? Was it a lot different? Thanks so much.

Not singing but this might help.
After getting cochlear implants my family and friends noticed I stopped slurring words. I had no idea I was slurring.

Pending on your hearing loss and how long you have had it, CI might change the way you talk/sing.
