My cochlear implant surgery was done in 2005. I was in the operating room for less than 3 hours. I had requested 2 weeks off from work but went back in 5 days because I was feeling fine and healing well. My cochlear implant was activated a month later. While everyone tends to react differently when it comes to relearning to hear, it took me less than a month to realize how much easier my life was! I was in my mid 60s then.

Now, nearly 2 decades later, cochlear implants and the surgery involved has progressed to being less invasive and far more successful. The candidacy to qualify for CI surgery has been lowered so more people can have CIs. At one time, those with single sided deafness did not qualify.

I'm curious to know where you have gotten your information about cochlear implant surgery?
