Hello! I am new here. My name is Devon and I am 22 y.o.
I got candidate for the CI few weeks ago. My surgery date is Jan 25th. I am so happy about it =)
To tell u about myself...
I was born hard of hearing...(did not wear hearing aid) I remmy I could talk on the phone all the time, have converstation with hearing people with no plm. I could hear about most of the things. By the time I become 18 or 19y.o, my hearing was getting worse. Seem like when I had this really bad flu it made it worse or whatever. Then when I reach 20 I decided to get hearing aids.. It did help a little... Few months later my ears become deaf, so I keep wearing my hearing aids....Man.. I hate hearing aids... everything seem so umm Loud and make everything sounds weird. I hate hearing like the radio, tv and people talkin as the same time.. It bother me. I never had that plm b4 when I was HOH... My hearing aid wasn't giving me enough benefit anymore... I couldn't understand my friends or family saying most of the time.. I have to read their lip..(I do not do any sign languages and I only know some of it tho.. I have always use oral all my life). I told my Audi doc that my hearing aid wasn't helping me much anymore.. So she told me to talk to a doc about CI. So I did that and decided I should go for it. I have a 2 friends who have CI.. And they love it. One of them speak really well and don't have to read lip anymore.
Of course I know CI work diff on each diff person. I'm hoping CI will help me hear my music good again.. And maybe to help me understand my friends and family as well.
One of my old friend told me not to get CI. He said it didn't work on him and that it was waste of money. He also said it damage ur brain cell. I completely ignored him anyway... I am not gonna let that stop me from getting CI. That's his plm that it didn't work out not mine. Beside I aint paying for the CI anyway.. My Medicaid is.
Sorry that my gramma suck and that I was talking about myself a lot in it. Just had to tell yall what was going on w me and that I was getting CI =)
Feel free to message back or whatever.
