I go this week to have surgery on my right ear and then the following week on the left. The doctor found, with the help of an MRI and CT, large amounts of blood, blood clots, and infection in the auditory canals and behind the inner ear on both sides. He thinks there was trauma, but there hasn't. My hearing tests, all 5 they've given me at different centers, are a joke and all come back profound.
My insurance won't cover the costs of hearing aids, or so they've said...I have to appeal that decision. How expensive are they? From what I've read, I think I want to go the CI route because sounds are more realistic and not blasted into the ear. Do most insurances cover CI surgery? I have to call, but don't want to be shocked if I talk to them and they tell me tough sh*t.
If anyone can help with price ranges, I'll be extremely grateful.
