Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Thank you for your positive response. Everyone I have talked with who has a CI has also given me positive feedback. My biggest concern is whether the Meniere's will be affected by the implant-- will it be better or worse? I guess there's no telling that since it's different with each of us. All I can do is trust my surgeon and audiologist and hope for the best outcome possible.

You are welcome. As far as menieres is concerned, a cochlear implant should have no positive or negative effect on symptoms because vertigo doesn't come from the cochlear, but from the semicircular canals. My menieres has essentially burned out, but I do still get occasional vertigo even though I am bilateral cochlear implants. I didn't think cochlear implants would help my type of hearing loss. I figured it was different because of menieres. The Dr was so confident in my success, it led me to decide I had nothing to lose. I couldn't get more deaf.
Wish you much success!
