Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

How are you doing with the cochlear implant? Are you bilateral or do you use a hearing aid in the other ear?
I'm deaf without my CI and HA, and struggle sometimes in noisy environments unless I'm using a streamer or other device that brings desired sound direct to my CI and HA. My social life continues, thanks to the technology available.
Do you use Zoom? There are several groups of people with CIs, hearing loss, etc. that meet on zoom with automatic captioning. Hearing other people's experiences helps a ton.

I’m completely deaf without my CI. I have the resound HA in my right ear that is supposed to help but it doesn’t. $2500 wasted! I am now considering a second CI. All of my childhood I’ve had sinus infections every spring and fall. None of my physicians have said they are what cause mySNHL but I’ve always felt they did. Seeing an intro from another person who had hearing loss after sinusitis was something I can identify with. Just in the last 6 years, I’ve had allergy shots but still react to triggers. Still sick every spring and fall. What do doctors say cause hearing loss after sinusitis? Also, my tinnitus is in the high frequency range so is it a complication from the sinusitis as well?

I would love to hear more from those who have recently received the hybrid Coclear implants, as I will be going in this month to see if I qualify.
