this is..... my first time ever to open up myself about c.i in here!
my hearing has been deteriorating for a few years and hearing aides are becoming useless to me. i still could hear with it but it kept messing up. i've been thinking about getting c.i. for past several years on and off. did some research here there, but need to get depth as if i become more serious about it. there is only ONE thing that prevents me from getting c.i., my fear of being in operation. not before nor after, i meant during in the operation room. im VERY senstive about seeing a drop of blood, or extremely senstive about getting blood test/being cutted up open. because ive never had that before. i know im probably making a couple of hours worth in operation sounded big deal to me. seriously, im so senstive about that!
im so frightened about how i can trust the doctors to do their job on me. how can i overcome the fear? i want to know if theres someone here whos totally like me (or almost) have gone through this. i need them to tell me how did they manage it. i feel that i can do this. the other things that im concern are getting infection and headach/dizzines if accidentally drilled through my head lol.
im definiately not a "hearing-head" lol. i only want to have this c.i. as my tool to improve my speech/hearing skills so i can communicate with anyone without having difficulties. my speech skill has changed alot ever since my hearing started deteriorating. its getting me frustrated for not able to understand each other better.
well feel free to go little off topic such as suggestions, recommendation on what kind of implants, etc etc. thanks!
