Does anyone have vertigo after the implants? Any ringing after the implant?
I am thinking of getting CI but afraid of the vertigo problem I've been having and ringing in the ear. My doctor seem to think that it will help the vertigo and the ringing go away but he don't know that for sure. I am a candadite for the CI and we're waiting for insurance approval.
 
It is a possible that you have sinus infections, and perhaps nasal polyps are involved, too. I had a vertigo and had the horrible ringings for a very long time. My ear doctor only focused on my ears so I had to see my allergy doctor about my polyps. He discovered that I had the infections. I didn't know that. I really cannot imagine that my ear doctor is such a real idiot... So, you need to see an allergy doctor - or ask your primary doctor about your nasal to see if you have the infections or not.) I don't have these problems since then.

Actually, I am not interested in CI. I would rather to get hair stem cells which is more natural way. There is one in Michigan, and the research is successful, but we don't know if it would be the first one to announce. I read it in the newspaper and found a post in this website about the research. There was another research which announced that it found a way to make the hair cells grow, but the lab is still struggling to make them work with different experiments on rats/birds/frogs since 7 years. I feel sorry for these animals. I wish that they would do some experiments on people in the prison instead of animals.
 
ksjp2: I had CI surgery back in December of last year. I had tinnitus for 2 weeks post-op (and during my first week of activation due to the loudness of sound), but no longer experience it except when I remove my speech processor at night. I also experienced some dizziness as a side effect of surgery, but it was mild and only lasted a day or two.

CI's can and do help minimize/eliminate tinnitus and vertigo. In fact, I know several people with Meniere's who decided to get a CI in order to help their vertigo symptoms.

Congratulations on your candidacy and good luck with your insurance approval! :)

What kind of testing would be done to check for sinus infections and nasal polyps? I'm now wondering why an ear doctor could not check for that also? I do need to find a good primary doctor where I now live. It seems like all I see are specialists.
 
Your doctor will drill your nose to see if there is... Just kidding. Sorry.

Your doctor will look inside your nose with a tube-magnifacation instrument to see if there is redness or inflammation in the nasal. It takes a few minutes for your doctor to look at it.

(A routine job for a doctor might send you to a vision test room - it is such a waste of time - It is the hospital's policy. I would not recommend you to get an x-ray or a CAT scan unless you have polyps and you decide that you want your doctor to remove them for an operation.)

I really do not know what my ear doctor was thinking about. I would say that it is not part of his job.

Hope that helps.
 
kspj2 - I would like you to pm me after seeing your doctor because I need to know what your doctor has to say about your vertigo problem. If you found my answers, I will tell others or heard someone like similar yours. Hope that it's okay with you.
 
Dude my ringing in the ears has never been worse since i had a c.i. ,and i have to have c.i. turned down to level 1 (lowest) because it just gets so bad when volume goes up that c.i. becomes worthless.I've been switched on for a month and 2 weeks (i think) and everytime i go to get speech processor mapped it gets worse and my audiologist is always trying to make me wear volume on level 5.No probs with vertigo though-my balance is screwed anyways
