Hi Lizzy, it's great all that you have accomplished with your CI! But sorry about those taste bud issues - which I have never heard of. Do you have an detailed explanation from the doctor for why these problems?

The above is a good link to why they happen. It is not a rare problem at all, it is just one that folks don’t mention very often. My surgeon says it will get better with time. Could be as long as a year before they do, if they do. I’ll get used to it I’m sure. Would I hesitate to have another implant? No, The implant has made my life so much richer and I am more present to my life now. Thank you for your comment. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
