Had the Humana worked I would’ve been going towards the cochlear implant. The other thing that my ENT did is he directly injected steroids into my failing ear there were three of them back to back. It did save that left ear from the cochlear implant so at this point, I’m on the Humira.

I did ask to talk to a few people that had cochlear implants.

I think when you’re faced with losing your hearing to no fault of your own, it’s overwhelming, but I When you get to the point that an cochlear implant is your only option. Your hearing will be so bad that the implant will be blessing.

If you want to ask the question on the Maio connect, I know there’s several people that have cochlear implants.

I’m very sorry you’re going through this!!

Good morning tinae,
I wanted to ask you how you are doing with the topic of autoimmune ear disease.
More than anything, I am very desperate. I have had the disease for two years and there is no way to stabilize it. I am on cortisone and methotrexate (5 months) and I have not noticed much improvement. Now I am back to where I was at the beginning of the disease. Could you tell me how you are doing, what about Humira and its side effects?
Thank you
