Went to the audiologist today and found out that my hearing lost is most definately permanent. Both my audi and my ENT has agreed on the results. My audi did a voice recognition test (Obviously that has dropped). In June it was 70%. Now it's down to 55%. My audi said that my results is just barely above the requirement needed for the candidacy for the CI.
She is going to go talk to the person in charge of the CI department and see what all we can do. She thinks since I depend on my hearing so much that the person might actually be able to give us some sort of wiggle room. I am seriously crossing my fingers. I'd love to be able to get hearing back into that ear.
We adjusted the HA for the right ear the best we could so I can at least have some sort of sound coming into the ear. So far, I hate it. Everything feels off. The pressure in the ear is wrong too. After listening to loud noises on the right ear the HA makes my ear pop and crackle. Which isn't good honestly and sounds absolutely horrid. Sad thing is that it's the best we can do. I can't hear very much out of the right ear with the HA. I really want to cry. I hate this. I want what little hearing I had back. I really do!
