if you're talking of tinnitus, sometimes the CI does help get rid of tinnitus, but not always.

I lost all my hearing overnight due to a severe illness. Since then I have had a very loud brutal noise 24/7. Enough to drive me crazy. I don't know if the noise is coming from my ears or brain. My brain was very swollen during this illness. So now that I might be a canidate for CI I need to know. If CI helps I will do it. If not then its not worth the risk to me.

Most of those who got CI got rid of Tinnitus.

But I've heard of people whose tinnitus got far worse after a CI. Some got explanted for that reason. I know one here on this board has, and another is waiting on doctor appointments/surgery. I think it's hard to know which way it's going to go.

I don't have CI but I have another kind of implant that goes into the bone. I got it four years ago.
