Hi Julie, sorry I put Julia before I was text talking. I apologize for that. I have not done any research yet. I do have my CI evaluation set up for August 18 at which time they will test me to see if I qualify and then they’ll introduce me to the three current manufactures. I am told that they all have different technology capabilities so until I really sit down and look at all three of them I won’t know, but I’ll be starting with one on the left and my right ear is stable right now, but I’m anticipating when I wean off the meds that the right ear will start to fail as well so I am trying to get the left CI functioning and getting up to speed on my hearing capabilities preparing for that second one.

Since I now know you have a CI how do you feel about it call I need to take you to get used to it. Do you enjoy life can you listen to music can you hear conversations, have you learned how to decipher sounds now I’m told that’s the most difficult part.
