For me, it was a matter of being able to localize sound since I'm totally blind. Although I used a hearing aid in my nonimplanted ear for 6 months post activation, over time, it proved to be no longer beneficial (i.e. weak and distorted).

* Can you speak on phone when you are wearing CI?

Yes. In fact, I hear better on a cell phone than I do on a landline phone.

* Do you have experience with headache when you hear any loud stuff or just a soft sound as smooth?

I'm a migraine sufferer (always had them before getting my CIs). However, ever since my CI surgeries, I haven't experienced as many migraines as I have in the past. Sometimes I still have migraines when I'm exposed to loud or very high pitched sounds, but the overall number of migraines that I have are much less frequent than they were pre-CI.

* After you get activated the device. How long it will be heal your surgery?

Healing takes 4 weeks. Activation usually takes place after the scar has had a chance to heal.

For my first surgery, it took a week for me to fully recover.

For my second surgery, it took about two weeks.
