I have Meneier's Disease and have had many of the Balance or Dizzy Tests myself if they make you really dizzy or sick your fine but if it has no effect on you there maybe damage to the Vestibular Nerve. Your Doctor is sending you for Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy which is a series of...

Same on the MED-EL card it says no ECT Treatments as for the MRI we don't need the magnet removed there is special instructions for them to follow in order to do the test on our cards, some kind of head wrap.

I recently got a smartlink+ for the main reason people sitting on my right side here at home and it works great for that. Even more the blue tooth feature for my htc cell phone and I also use it to watch tv. My one question to anyone is how long do your processor batteries last when using the...

I feel the best thing to do is shut down all these off shore oil rigs until these big oil companies can prove that they can prevent this from happening again with some kind of safety system in place.

I had my CI surgery last June and was activated in July I only had some dizziness for a few hours after I woke up from the surgery. I have not had a Vertigo attack in my left ear since April 2007 after my Sac surgery and my right since Feb 2005 after my Labyrinthectomy. My doctor said in a lot...

it does sound like Vertigo and there is Vestibular Rehab Therapy I am sure one of the hospitals in the Toronto area will do that. I had to do those exercises after the surgeries I chose to have done for my Meniere's Disease they do work.

1) I have the MED-EL Sonata Implant with the OPUS 2 Processor 2) I have a really hard time understanding people on the phone, I pick up maybe 3 out of 5 words. 3) I have Meniere's Disease and I have no vestibular function left I balance with my eyes the only thing the CI surgery helped with is...

I can't believe after only one week my Phonak Inspiro FM System is broken it wont turne back on even though it has a full charge. Has anyone else had this problem with this device? I just think its a lot of money to pay for something that does not work right.

Your two twenty dollar bills are still good to spend or wait until our dollar is at par with the USD to exchange them at your bank.

Hi Alicia I hope they told you it will take the better part of the day at least mine was with the MRI and all the extensive hearing tests I remember one of those you lay down for near an hour.I wish you all the best on Monday and hope your tests are not as long as mine where, Who knows it could...

I have had it done twice to each ear what it does is test the vestibular nerves it is painless and in fact the more dizzy you get from it your balance nerves are working properly. These test are generally for people that suffer vertigo attacks and I sure hope your not one of us.

Welcome Megan like you I have Meniere's Disease and lost total hearing from it in a very short time the disease can be really ugly. Going deaf is not the end of the world and really not all that bad we learn to adapt to new things like learning how to read lips. I know you came to the right...

I wonder if part of the long wait is due to Dr. Parnes teaching at Western University as well as running a practice in the hospital. I know he only does surgeries on Tuesdays thats why they hired another surgeon last March to help with the back log. Alicia it takes me almost 3 hours each way to...

My MED-EL uses 3x #675 disposable batteries and has the optional DaCapo Rechargeable Batteries and Charging System that includes 3 batteries. They each last twelve hours on a single charge if you use the high settings with the OPUS 3 Processor.

I think it was 1.5 years because someone canceled there surgery so I lucked out that way but it felt like forever.

My Audi told me to get some kind of med-alert ID to tell people I have a CI and that I am deaf. she also suggested to put on there to look in my wallet for my info card that has a list of the medications I take. Emergency room doctors need as much information about you as they can get so they...

Good Luck Alicia with your CI evaluation in March I had my surgery done in London Ontario and they only use MED-EL implants. One think that really sucks living in this Province they only cover 1 implant because there is such a long waiting list for adults 2 years or more. Like you I am late...
