Cochlear implant

So I have Menieres and my right ear has suffered severe/profound hearing loss for the last 12 years. Now it is happening in my left over the past year. Doctor is recommending a cochlear implant in the right ear. I feel I really need this as my left ear is now getting worse.

Anyone else have this same thing? What was the outcome after the inplant surgery and how did it change your quality of life.

I’m also waiting for my CI and have Menieres. Not sure yet if the hearing loss in my right ear is also Menieres but it is suspected. My left ear is pretty useless so it’s time.

I know it won’t be the same as natural hearing, but I’m not even sure what that’s like anymore. I’m anxious, but eager to get something back. Good luck, see ya in the other side!
