Hello, Flat
I have attached a picture of the model of the prosthesis that was used in the operation. I consulted with the doctor recently and I came to the fact that it is better to try the option of reinforcing the oval window, he agreed and considered that the risk is lower than replacing the prosthesis with a Teflon one. I am scheduled for March 14, 2024. He scheduled me later saying that maybe the situation with the distortions will improve and he will not have to reopen the ear. I've tried almost everything so far in the hope that maybe I can get used to these distortions...but I can't. I'd rather risk losing more of the hearing I've gained than stay with these distortions.
Thanks for the reply and I will keep you updated on the situation. I will come back after March 14th with an answer if the reinforcement of the oval window improved or maybe even made these horrible distortions disappear. Good health and take care of your hearing!
Gabriel.

Hi Gabriel!

Attached is a photo of my implant, it looks different - but it is odd that they are both titanium.

I wish you the best of luck on your surgery, please keep us updated on how it goes! Since our symptoms are so similar, if it works well for you I may as well try it. The success rate seems to be really good, around 80-90% with minimal risks. I will be thinking of you!

How was your surgery and how are you today?
