Hi Becky, thought I would just give you an update. I’m trying my last effort at three consecutive prednisone shots in my left ear. I need to stay on all the meds for now to keep the right ear stable but I do have an appointment set up for a cochlear implant evaluation. Which, as you know you have to qualify for one, as of right now they don’t feel it would be an issue but the insurance company historically will deny it at least two times so I’m thinking by the end of the year. If the shots don’t miraculously cure the problem, which I don’t feel it’s going to, but I needed to at least make sure I did everything possible, I will be getting my first CI in my left ear. We will see what happens as I start to wean off the medicine. I may get the second one by the middle of next year but I’ve come to terms with it, could be worse, they are going to connect me with a few other people that have CI’s just to talk to it see how they feel, where they are. They try to set you up with some peers that have a similar situation as you, so hopefully that will be a positive experience. I will keep you posted. Thanks again for sharing your story.
