hi everyone,
A little background information on me:
-Diagnosed with mild hearing loss as a teenager.
-hearing dropped significantly.
-currently diagnosed with profound to severe hearing loss
- got a new resound hearing aid to better hear (BUT)
- can hear one to one and in groups (to a certain extent AND only if quiet settings.)
- I can’t hear phone clearly, bits and pieces of conversations only. (With iPhone/resound hearing connected)
- I’m on waiting list for cochlear implant. Expected to get it 2018 (ish)
So, could y’all help me by giving feedback on life before/after implant?
Also any advise for me?
I know I NEED an implant to better hear etc. but I feel overwhelmed and would appreciate any info/feedback on your own hearing loss/implant journey.
Note: I’m not American, or living in America if that makes any difference.
Sorry about length.
Thank you
