Cheri said:You are going for hearing aids while the implant is still inside of you? The reason I'm asking because would it effect you or cause conflicts?
volcomskatz said:I dunno, I just wait and see if it work or not.
ClearSky said:Good luck! Most people lose their remaining hearing when they get a CI.
volcomskatz said:I have appt for HA tomorrow... I have take test, check up and something...
I hope it will work in right ear that where CI was targeted.
^Angel^ said:That's what happened to my friend from school, when he was implanted with CI, he lost most of his hearing, and wish he never went ahead with the implant, I find it quite odd if you ask me, I mean I thought CI was the next step to help you hear if hearing aids don't help quite well...
volcomskatz said:I had been in Hearing Center and took evaluation, also discuss about new HA.
I'm not benefits to get HA for right ear because CI was located, and nerve was dead after implanted in right ear. Audiolgist said that HA is small benefits for left ear but sounds would probably moderate to poor, just better than no sounds. I just got earmold for $50 and wait until 2 weeks to visit again then I can try to wear HA, such as test with sounds then if I can hear so well then audiolgist will order new HA, it called Oticon Sumo or something for left ear, that all.
That's sad about no benefits for HA in right ear.
