Hello. I've had a hearing loss for 14 years and in the last few years it went from a Sensorineural Bilateral Severe loss in both ears to a Sensorineural Bilateral Severe-Profound (left)/Profound Hearing Loss(right). One of my hearing aids need replacing so I'm depending on the right ear to hear. Lately it's beginning to sound a bit more faint and I don't know if it is because of my other hearing aid needing replacement or just my hearing.
I think I really need to start looking into cochlear implants now anyways. I have some questions though! Please help.
1 - What type is best for my range?
2 - Are there any semi implantable or even fully implantable implants available for my range?
3 - what about getting wet? I love the beach and the rain. Will a CI interfere with this?
4 - will it interfere with everyday hair styling? if that's the case, can I take it out?
5 - do most CIs have wires sticking out?
