HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 26, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Glad it went well and that you are one step closer to being bilateral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 26, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 That's awesome Kara! Sounds like things are falling into place for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 26, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I does take time for incisions to heal. Issue is, there really isn't anything you can do to speed things along. Just keep an eye on it and be patient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbras Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Glad you got an appointment Kara. I agree with Mary Beth as I had my surgery 12/22 and I don't feel any tenderness at all. I wear my CI all day long and it doesn't bother me. Hope everything works out, but you may need to be proactive here. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 26, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yes thaunk you all!! It's a work in progress. Audi had said my hearing levels have pretty much levelled out as well. She did want me to come up a bit In the future but she wasn't worried about that.

HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted January 26, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Kara, I'm glad things have gone so well. Good luck going bilateral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 26, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks Sandy. You should write a letter to your hospital too. I basically put that we really comprise a small part of our society and it would benefit us to have a longer happier life with 2 strong ears. They accepted that. Don't give up hope. If it doesn't work try another hospital. Like SunnyBrook. I can give you the information if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted January 27, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yuhuuuu! Yes - it's one step forward! One small step fir a man, but giant for humanity! - Like Armstrong would say... Bilaterality is really The key! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 27, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yes I hope they agree too it for sure!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted January 27, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well, in my opinion, as well as boards decide against bilaterality they should understand it better in a functional way. It's not really fair to decide just by quantity than quality. There are number of tests which can prove how far the implantee come with the process of (re)habilitation. If this would be so simple even insurance companies could make decisions - why bother with doc's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 27, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well at my next visit I will be having a hearing test and other things.

HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted January 28, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks for the information Kara. I will be talking to my audiologist regarding this as well as composing a letter. My only concern is that they chose my good ear to do the surgery as opposed to the one I could hear nothing.
