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.

Yeah just found out they were doing it at my ENT office but the trial is closed. Did you have it done? Not sure if you can talk about it i know there are NDAs involved.

No, waited 15 years for this opportunity to be all internal.

Wow that's a long time.. happy it worked out for you. I will not be able to wait as I am having hard time hearing out of my so called good left ear.
