Hello,
I am new to this forum, but excited to have found it. I lost hearing in my right ear almost 20 years ago. Went through the steroid injections and antibiotics. No improvement. I have 4% hearing in that ear. I have tried several hearing aids, including an Adhear bone conduction hearing aid, with no success. I am 63 and now have some mild - age related hearing loss in my good ear. It is so nice and interesting to hear others similar stories! After a 6 month process with my insurance company, I have just been approved for a CI. I'm excited but terrified at the same time:) I would love to hear from anyone who has gone through the process of a CI and have lots of questions . Thanks, Lynn

@lynn4hearing congratulations on being approved for a Cochlear implant. You might be interested in these 2 discussions where members have shared their journey before and after a CI with loads of comments from other CI recipients, including Julie:
