Beside Drew and I, has anyone else had simultaneous bilateral CIs?
If you have bilateral CIs, why did you chose to get two implants?
As for myself, I just figured I wore two hearing aids and two CIs just made sense. I find that I do not like to go with just one implant on. I need both for direction of sound and even for a balance of sound. Both give more sound range than hearing aids could ever give.
My one year scores:
HINT sentences right ear - 96%, left ear - 92%(from 1% before surgery)
Words bilateral 69%
phases bilateral 69%
I think I do better than the scores show here.
