Thanks :fingersx: I really hope they can just FIX IT!

very possible! I was also picked on a lot by my peers and my sisters were not very nice to me about it...I remember the Dr. also telling us that "cant survive with such hearing loss". I am trying SO hard to remember the risk they warn you of before operation...I think Vertigo was one of them.

I saw a nerologist who didnt do much for me after he was unable to get accurate test results due to the implant :/ DO they do any special testing before deciding to take it out? Jillio--If all the doctors are friends they will keep quiet IF anything was wrong with the implant....

So I spoke to my Mom (who would be most supportive) and she told me I was the one who wanted the implant! Wow, I dont remember this...but then again I dont remember much and was struggling to fit in. Either way, She is coming back down to Florida and is going to help me look for another CI...

how would they know this VS my body just rejecting it or something?

yea, like he explain to me that recutting the nerves will cause more vertigo because the nerves will react like loose wires or something...that scared me to think of MORE vertigo...I hate vertigo.

before Implant I saw two diffrent Doctor for oppinion...is that what you mean? I recently saw an ENT who was also no help--he was a student of my implant DR...go figure!

but how can be malpractice? Also yes Ihave had cat scan, EEG, blood work, Balance testing, ETC ETC. (cant get MRI with CI) but no results from any

Thanks Jillio :hug: It is hard though because communication will be difficult with my family because no one signs, also its hard to read my dads lips because he is not clear. Im sure it will work itself out and we will find a way to communicate (I do not see them learning sign though). for a...

Yea, I seen a nerologist who said he cant rule out anything because he doesnt work with CI or know if its that effecting me, so he dismissed me also after the test had no result because of implant. Maybe my best bet is to go back to the implant Dr. and tell him to just take it out? I did this...

yes, for 4 years now! I want answers! I do not like to get sick all the time and not be able to do anything or to happen in public and get hurt. Lucky my Service Dog also helps with my balance and helps me during an attack but 4 years is too long! I am not happy that the doctors keep pushing...

Yes it is very scary :( I will drop anything I am holding and my body goes limp it is also difficult to communicte during a bad attack :( I have gone to many doctor, but all test seem to come back incinclusive because of the implant so I am not getting answers

wow! thats what I suffer from :( and Its getting worse and worse! Like start to black out during an attack, not remember anything, lose control of my motor functions and Im like dead weight because I cant control my body :( this is awful and I hate it! I feel it is the implants fault, but the...

Yea...I guess my biggest concern would be the risk, and any after effects of having it removed (balance issues, etc.)?

Thanks Jillio! I haven't brought this up to my parents yet...I dont know what how my family would feel, they are all hearing and none sign. It took my dad 19 years to admit I had any hearing loss at all, let alone that I am Deaf.

Has anyone done it? I have thought about it for awhile...I was implanted at 14 (almost 15) and since have had really bad vertigo attacks along with other symptoms. Ive been to many Doctors since, and have had many test done--EEG and CAT scan came back "incinclusive" because of the implant. Ive...

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

what would be so special about Ipad 3 than Ipad 2?

My boyfriend is learning...and im trying to help him (i got hims a few books and home labels) but AHHH I wish it was FASTER!! I know he is trying...

how do you feel about it? I am thinking about buying one next weekend to help take notes in college, and also for portable relay calls. It seems really cool!
