Hey all, I wanted to know what everyone who has gotten a CI thinks of them. Like how much more do u hear with a CI than a hearing aid? I am going in for testing this month to see if I am a candidate for the CI. My parents wanted me to be able to decide this for myself. They didn't get me implanted when I was little. I am 20 now, and I am seriously considering one. I have a friend who got one last year and she says she really likes it. I have always worn a hearing aid in my right ear. I can't hear anything out of my left, so that is the ear that I would get implanted in, just in case something goes wrong. That way I'd have my good ear still intact.
I just wanted to know ur experiences with CI's and if it has benefited u or not?
