Why get one for your other ear? Isn't one enough?
 
One is good, but we have ears for a reason :) People tend to do better in bacground noise with 2 implants than with just one. Also, with just one its hard to tell where sound is coming from. I can tell extreme left and right sounds, but anything else I can't.

What do you mean, "close experience"?
 
i wouldn't get implant- i just know that i won't hear at all :D
 
My mom had asked me if I considered about getting a cochlear implant three times. I declined because I knew that cochlear implant won't work for my ears anyway plus I don't need to deal with some headaches while I used hearing aids. I am happy being Deaf. :D
 
for me, I do not want it at all. if someone ask me for that. I am sure decline 100%
 
you are who you are.. so if u were born deaf, u should be proud of it. ~radiohead

you are who you are. using some type of aid to hear doesnt change that you are deaf.
no matter what that aid is.
 
I have one, but I don't use it anymore due to headaches. I wouldn't get another one, that'd make my headache even more worse if I wore both. I don't need it and I'm proud to be deaf :)
 
Are those that use it NOT proud to be deaf? Is that how you all see it?

HI,

I got information about a Cochlear implant and I would like to know from someone that has one do you actually hear the real persons voice and the real sounds or is it like a robot's voice or something other then the real persons voice or sounds that you are hearing. I have a profound deafness and wear two aids now .

Could you please write me at BSidrer@aol.com

Barbara
