[QUOTE="PinballWiz, post: 2536973, member: 86656"] Well, I'm not trying to create any false hope, simply pointing out that one can have Sensorineural Hearing and still have a functioning auditory nerve. A comment like "there's nothing that will help you," can mean different things depending on the context. It could mean that "nothing will help you" regain your natural hearing, but not necessarily meaning that aids/CI's wouldn't benefit you. Or, she could have meant that the nature of your loss is, in fact, untreatable by CI's. I'd get a second opinion, or at least a return visit to your ENT for clarification. No need to leave any cards on the table. [/QUOTE]
