Hello and Welcome to Mayo Clinic connect, @dstell! Thank you for your post. Comments like this are such a great help to the previous and future member.
So you have a Cochlear Implant for both ears? Did your vertigo improve after the Implant? I'm so happy to hear that your hearing is improved with your Cochlear Implant.

I do have CI's in both ears. First one in 2013, almost exactly 4 years ago, and the second one in April of 2015. As for my vertigo, my left ear was determined to be completely dead, no hearing, no balance, prior to implant, and I was undergoing treatment for my vertigo when implanted with my second one. I asked my ENT if the CI would affect my vertigo in any way and he said no. 2 different organs, 2 different functions. With that said, my vertigo has been virtually non-existent for 3 years now. I don't miss it.
