Live in Clarkston. Work in Warren. For me, MEI, is not in a bad location. Hope it is not to difficult for you to get to. Steve

I'm sorry, I'd like to de-rail the thought of Menieres being the cause of Tinnitus. Almost everyone at some point in their life gets Tinnitus. For most, it goes away. Menieres is so much more than Tinnitus. I have a minor case as I don't have the Vertigo attacks any more but do have a...

SuziMaria, I'll try to give you some of my experience. I have had a farily fast hearing loss from roughly 40db a year ago to now 85db-95db loss with very little speech understanding in my good ear. My good ear still has a lot of tinnitus. My bad ear (Left) lost all hearing suddenly 15...

deafmama78, MEI???? Where? I know there are a lot of offices through the US but the MEI I know if is in SE Michigan. I haven't searched the nation for other MEI offices. I'm sure there are others that go by this name as well but if it is SE Michigan, I think you are in the right place. I...

This is very unfortunate for the parents and I feel sorry for them. I don't see this as a place to point blame but rather to raise the issue and concern for those getting ready to go under the knife for any operation. Use the stories you read about to prepare yourself for the best possible out...

Real Animal Lover - Sorry you did not benefit from the CI and sounds like you have been struggled with it for quite some time before shelving it. I'm asking the question since it sounds like you live with no sound 24/7. I don't know much history on you and if you are deaf or have a...

Glad you made it through. Dev, Congradulations. Using the hand to lift your head. Told you. lol Doesn't hurt as bad that way does it. You didn't eat the lemon jello at home did you? lol They told me the upset stomach was caused by the pain medication and the anastesia wearing...

Don't eat the lemon jello Dev, Just don't eat the lemon jello. I was fine until I ate it. Tasted just fine going down but...... Anyway, just a word of caution. I can't remember the last time I ate Jello before the surgery. I made several boxes during recovery at home and yes, I did...

Just had 2nd map today Surgery was December 16th, 2006. Turn on date last Monday, January 15th. Everything was high pitch and just didn't sound quite right but what I did hear was extremely clear and it just blew me away that it was really working. Received 2nd Map this afternoon Monday...

Just comments and maybe offer some hope. deafskeptic, Sorry for the long post. I've not read the entire post but have read the last couple pages with the surgery being cancelled/postponed. I'm sorry to hear this especially with the emotional rollercoaster that it is making you go through...

IV and Surgery Devon, Sorry this is so long but I hope it is useful information for you. I'm a little ahead of you on getting a CI. About 5 weeks. My surgery was on December 16th and it was my first surgery as well. Actually, I didn't feel nervous but my blood pressure told the truth but...

Similar situation Next Monday, I'm having my CI turned on in my Left ear which has not heard for 15 years. Periodically, I'd hear something from my Left over the years but nothing that would provide any benefit. My Right ear was good up until 6-8 months ago where I quickly lost most of the...

Comments. I don't know what to add but I have been suffering with loud tinnitus for just over 2 years. Yes, it kept me up at night, woke me up and drove me nuts until I came to understand that it was not going to kill me. I did have to learn to deal with it though. My hearing wasn't so...

Hearing aids Set2, You did not mention if you have programmable hearing aids. For me, I have an extreme fluctuating hearing loss which drives me crazy. Some days I can hear almost perfect and hours to days later, I can't understand a single spoken word without totally relying on reading...
