You could be right on the anxiety thing and all, but I didn't have any of this till my ears went south. I'd be covering old ground but I have been turned down 4 times now for CI. They say I've been deaf or HOH so long they don't think my brain will adapt to it. Will not OK for insurance...

Thank you for your heart felt reply. I guess the hard part is the unknown and how HR has handled this from the get go. I've been tossed under the bus so many times I know how road kill feels. There maybe other things that I can do but I sure don't think it is high public contact anymore...

Long story short. Had been working in the hearing world all my life and lost what little hearing I had last fall. I work in a high public contact job at a hospital and when my ability to hear finally bottomed I contacted HR. I asked for any help months earlier when I could see how fast my...

After years of having my hearing diminish to deafness I am at my wits end to what my next move should be. Total deaf in right ear when I was 13 (now 54) with severe tinnitus in both ears since then and now have lost my usable hearing in left ear. Told I am not a candidate for CI and do not use...

Hi, my name is Chris and I am new to this site. Short history: I have been deaf in my right ear since age 13 and have had severe tinnitus since that time. I have been losing my hearing in my left ear for years and am now at the deaf level with nothing but distortion when I use an aid so...
