Met with the surgeon this morning and, as with me, nothing is clear cut. His comments were that my face on face with him in a quiet area showed with HAs I have no problem hearing. That a CI could make that worse and not help with the other issues I have (hearing with background noise, etc.) and not only not help but make it worse. He said with most people he has no problems one way or another in making a decision. But in my case I'm right in the middle (on the edge). I asked him what he would advise if I were his mother and he said that he would suggest trying to give the HAs a longer trial.

Seems counter production to buy a new set of HAs and 3 months later go for the CI! Yet if it turns out it wouldn't help!

Decisions, decisions!
