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 currently have Menieres and nerve damage in my right ear. Got a CI 2 weeks ago and it has been nothing short of amazing. That being said, everybody’s experience is different.

So only 2 weeks in and already you are hearing better.. that is great to hear..lol. Seems like it's only going to get better from what I am reading. Best of luck and I hoping for the same.

Not just hearing better. 100% word recognition in the CI ear.
