Anyone here who has/had severe tennitus and then got implanted?
Was it a 50/50 chance for you to make this decision that the CI
would work succesfully and drown out tennitus?
The question is this: Was it easy decision for you to decide
which ear?
OK I went to my ENT yesterday for the last evaluation. This doctor
approved CI for me. It now my decision which ear. My left ear is
my comfort zone but with severe tennitus. My one and only concern
is if the CI fails in my left ear, then I will have tennitus and no
solution. Sounds like suicidal! The doctor says it's 50/50 but at the
same time, I'm wondering if he is just CYA and not get my hopes up
to high?
Can anyone share their experience with me? Did you feel that you
were taking a huge chance? Did you pray every day that this would
work for you?
My right ear is more senstive, louder but not clear and I do wear a
digital aid. Again, my left is my comfort zone with same hearing loss.
Also, I did ask the ENT about left side = speech, right side=musical
and the answer is; it's crossed. The sounds coming into either ear
crosses the brain so it simply just doesn't matter which ear sends
the sounds to the brain.
