Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 , I wish I could dsitract you from that tinnitus. Its no fun, but who nose, you may find it gone or minimized after activation. I dont know what current research says but it was said that tinnitus is kind of like the phantom effect one has after a limb has been amputated. You still " feel " the missing limb. It could be the tinnitus is a result of the brain thinking the missing inner ear is delivering sound. Well my left ear which is not implanted gets it worse. The cilia is not actually missing but dead or dormant. Poor brain. Let me know if I can distract you ok?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 , You can distract me anytime. <smile> Your theory makes perfect sense. It reminds me of the " phantom vision " a sighted friend experienced after going blind. Even though she was totally blind, she could still see flashes of light, color, print letters and numbers floating in random order in front of her eyes. The only thing I don't understand about my situation is since there was very little sound difference in my left ear before and after surgery, why is the tinnitus even a factor? Perhaps even the smallest amount of residual hearing is enough to allow the brain to realize that it hears something? Implanted: 12/22/04 Activation date: 1/18/05 (19 days and counting!)

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 , How about we compromise with a mocha? That way we'll both be " alert " enough to remember what happened tomorrow morning.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 , Remember tomorrow? Errrr, I will refrain from further comment for fear of scandalizing the list. But lets not worry, for this will be the last time we do it this year.
