Powerful comment mirrors my comprehension problems, depression, anxiety and exhaustion exactly. Situations might be not be the same, the experience we share is, certainly. Thank you. I am going to have a cochlear implant because I am sick of not understanding overall content in the situations you describe, sick of the depression/exhaustion, sick of my grandchildren looking at me with confusion, and sick of loosing out! Anything will be an improvement.

Hi,
I also hope the CI is successful for you and I am SO interested in your upcoming journey. I have been contemplating one for my left bad ear but am truthfully not there yet. I have a metal clip in my right eye since the 80s from a detached retina and am fearful of the magnet effect of the CI. Not sure if my Ophthalmologist would have a clue about that. Perhaps , when it comes time I’ll need more information .
Anyway.....good luck and please keep us posted . I know there is a long journey yet after the implant.

@lizzy102 did you have the cochlear implant? Did you have sensorineural loss? Did it help?

@lizzy102 I hope you will keep us informed as you undergo the transition to a CI. I think it is something that many of us may have in the future, I suspect I do so I will be very interested in hearing about it first-hand.
When are you having the surgery for this? I sincerely wish it gives you all of the help you are hoping for.
