Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

i'm also hoping that the meniere's has burned out, at least to the point where vertigo is no longer a big problem. My surgery is scheduled for October 4th. I had a 2-hour series of balance tests yesterday(to establish a baseline assessment) and had very little dizziness which the audiologist said was a good sign for success with the CI. Trying to not get my expectations too high-- rather to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed with the outcome.

So glad I heard about this website-- very helpful to hear from others about their hearing loss, and treatments. Thank you!

So happy to know you find this site helpful.

Peer support is a big plus. Learning that I was not alone with my hearing loss helped me a great deal. I encourage you to check out The Hearing Loss Assn. of America at their website. http://www.hearingloss.org There is a lot of information there. It's possible there might be a chapter of HLAA in your area. Most HLAA chapters have members with cochlear implants.

You will probably have to make a decision on which brand of CI you will be implanted with. They are all good, but there are some differences. Again, it helps to talk to others at the 'consumer' level.

I will be interested to hear more.
