Hi, I am trying to figure what CI is the right one for me. I'll be getting one soon for my left ear, which has only heard very low pitches (no chance of understanding speach) for the past 36 years. My right ear is still functioning (with a hearing aid) but it probably won't be long before that one is done too. Is there anyone in this forum who has experience with a situation like this? I.e. only being able to use one ear for the vast majority of your life and having to depend on the hope a CI can help to regain hearing for your deaf ear while the other one is steadily going south? I haven't had much time figuring stuff out as my situation has unfortunately evolved rather quickly, so I am also looking for input as to what questions I should be asking my doctor. Thanks for your help!
