You gotta remember, your ear is just newly introduced to stimulation so your right ear will be dominant for a while. When you go back for a mapping, your volume levels will go way up! It takes a couple months before it begins to level out if you ever do. At that point your audi might map you...

Not at all, I got the cochlear implant sign and that was it. I have a general idea what it was about thoughI would greatly appreciate it if you did that! :)

You will get used to it. If it gets too uncomfortable you can put a piece of mole skin on the processor to ease up any irritation.

Congratulations! Now comes the hard part :) You sound like you are having a great first day. Are you walking around to see what kind of things make noise yet? and! How about that blinker in the car? :)

Yes it over 100,000 people worldwide that have cochlear implants. 1,300 of them are bilateral and the numbers are climbing!

I disagree with whomever you went to. I wear a cochlear implant in my left ear (have not heard out of it in 15 years) and a HA in right which is profound. You do hear different with a CI then a HA in the beginning but the more you wear it, the more it starts to sound more like the HA. A CI is...

Thats right, I would try to get in touch with your insurance, it is an important part!

I thought it is still covered under warranty?

I have captioned my activation video and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy! CHRONICLES OF A BIONIC WOMAN: Captioned Cochlear Implant Activation Video

I had pain in my inside elbow because they strapped my arms down when they did the IV preparation AFTER I was knocked out with the gas. They just stretched the muscles. Maybe the bump on the other side of your head is from all the gadgets and tubes and stuff that they have laying around. They...

It will take a little while to get use to the amplification of sounds. Hearing aids tend to amplify ALL sounds, so what might be noisy one minute might not be so noisy the next. With the hearing aids, depending on which one you have might a nifty little feature called compression where it...

Welcome to the "other" side :) I am glad to see that you surgery went so well!

The sound quality of the IPhone compared to LG's or Motorola Rzrs. Mr. Jobs has a little tweaking to do!

What kind of medical problems though? This is the kind of stuff that hearing parents need to hear but there is no way they can unless they know how to sign.

Hello and welcome to Alldeaf! I currently wear a CI in my left and a hearing aid in my right. I decided to get a cochlear implant when my hearing degraded so rapidly in my right ear. I chose my worst ear that I have not heard out of in 15 years to be implanted. My CI provides me far more...

I keep seeing this video pop up all over the place. I don't know sign very well but gathering from the general gist of conversation I am assuming that Matthew Fowler got implanted at 14 and has had medical problems ever since?

I love the perkies, I was popping two every four hours :)

I wish I could help you with this one. I do remember reading about one woman who has a CI who rides on the back of her harley and she has no problems.

12 hours to go! :) You will do fine, just take it easy. Are you going to ask for the anti nausea meds?

I had an experience today that I think some hearing people coin the "chalkboard" sound. I was at work and someone was moving a heater and it scraped against the floor or the cubicle post and made this god awful noise! It startled me and I watched the person moving it do that "chalkboard"...
