Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi, My name is Bill and have been deaf for the past 11 years. What started out as a slow hearing loss in my right ear (always deaf in left)eventually became a complete hearing loss. I woke up one morning in the spring of 1995 and was shocked and scared to discover that I hd completely lost waht little hearing was left in my right ear. I had worn a HA in the right ear for a few years which helped a great deal. Now, being completely deaf, my only alternative to returning to the hearing world is a CI. I have been researching this extensively and have decided on AB HR90K implant with the Auria BTE processor. My main reason for chosing this is the potentiality of the implanted device as well as the 120 channel processor that is forthcoming. Another reason is the rechargeable batteries that are said to last 4 years before beginning to lose chargeability. As soon as I get finincial stuff taken care of, I will be on my way to hearing again! There is another issue that is bothering me and I am trying to seek advice and info on. Tinnitus is a big part of my hearing loss and it is absolutely roaring within my right ear. I am hoping that the CI will alleviate this so that it doesnt persist even after rthe surgery. Has anyone else experienced this before having a CI done? If so, what were the results post-implant? -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
