I just wanted to reach out to the group regarding their experiences with CI’s. I am 73 and noticing my hearing is getting worse. I can still function with hearing aids but want to know the good and the bad with CI’s.
I have heard some can be made waterproof with accessories but it is a big step.
How long does it take to adapt to them and does anyone regret getting them?
I look forward to hearing from all of you.

I am 73, was implanted in December on one side, and have written a whole FB blog about the experience. It will walk you through the background to my hearing loss, the assessments, the prep for the op, the op itself, the recovery and rehabilitation. Three months post op I stopped writing the blog because with both ears, no background noise I was hearing at 98% up from the 20s. You can look on FB for From Hearing to Deafness and Back or you can email me at pennyriley at the most common email you can think off. Not sure I can give an address on here or not. I will look for an email from you and can just send you the whole document if you respond.
