A New Reality
I am about to have a new reality. After a lifetime living with a sensorineural bilateral profound hearing loss, I will soon allow science and technology to take over. On Dec 12th, I will put my life in the hands of a doctor who will insert a computer chip with a cable running into the part of my inner ear, specifically the cochlea. It is the part of the ear that looks like a snail. It is called a cochlear implant, aka "CI."

Hi Sooz:
Send me an email privately to flickinger2@verizon.net
I am 43yrs old & also had bilateral sensorineural hearing loss all my life due to LVAS (do you know the cause of your hearing loss?). I was implanted 1/10/05 with my original implant. That device was explanted two days ago and reimplanted with another manufacturer device. I'm doing better this time around but it is still too early to see if the complications resolve itself.
