Main thing is to start the journey and you just did just that!!. Regarding the first steps, that will probably be registering how bad you actually hear, condition of your sensory nerves and codition of the cochlea (using scnning). But then, you allreqady mentioned that you were a candidate, so I guess that it's more a formal "checkup ". Enjoy the attention!

![]() Yes I agree it is hyberbole to blah blah this stuff... this is because she was kicked out of HE and banned. so you can say she has grudge against those... I find HE harmless... I would agree with the owner of HE that DD knows nothing because she does not have one or experience one. I do, the owner do and you do.

Ohhhhh! Okay. I was beginning to think a "Hearing Exchanger" was someone who exchanged one form of hearing for another in order to be trendy
I'm glad I asked.

Anyway, Lucia, ask your surgeon how many CI operations he has under his belt. Good luck!

DO make sure you have your meningitis immunizations, and ensure that they do not use any spacers of any kind in your surgery...
Otherwise, I can't think of anything that no one has covered already in this thread...do make sure that this is what you want though - no straddling the fence on this one. ![]() Best of luck to you, Lucia and feel free to ask me anything you'd like...I have mine since early 2002. |

I don't always disagree with you, DD. You know that. However, I'm for CHOICE. She's made her choice, so I really think she is better served if she is supported; rather than have people tell her a bunch of crap she probably already knows.

yeah the audiologist said high frequency transponder wont work for me as mine is progessive loss so cant use that..
i remmy at my first appt- i had the audiogram then talk to the dr and he said prolly will implant on the left as there is no useable hearing then i had the ct-scan as they were not busy so i was lucky to get in same day! wow! but i had to wait 3 weeks then come in for balance tests then within few days i got the results in mail. i have to come back to DR this thurs and we will talk more about how I am doing iwth the treatment and did it help any?? i know we will talk about CI again cuz my hearing still go then come back.. its so damn frustrating.. i cant stand not be able to hear one day then next day i can hear? wtf? this is annoying, im serious.. then after that i dont know what will happen?? will find out.. but be sure to ask alot of questions if you want to know more.. research online and write down any questions so you can ask the ENT.. all i can say is GOOD LUCK!

I don't expect to understand speech. I am keeping my expectations low. I do hope, though, to hear enviromental noises and possibly music, but not words or speech.
