Marlinsmum Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Been lurking here for a while, about time I said hi! I am an older lady, suffered sudden loss in my left ear July 2021, right ear all good. About to receive my implant TODAY, wish me luck!

HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted October 27, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Also I meant to add - it's nice to meet someone else from Australia. I'm in Perth myself. Single sided deaf, had my surgery 3 years ago. Doing great now. Hope that for you too. Dianna and Marlinsmum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlinsmum Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks, about 6 hours post op, bit wobbly for a while but pain levels subsiding now, doubt if there will be much 😴 with the new headgear😁looking forward to an exciting future, was lucky enough to get the 2 ways to Hear offer so i get both the Sonnet 2 and Rondo 3!

Darlene Mac Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Hi, marlinsmum! We met on Facebook this past week. I'm so glad your surgery went well and you decided to check in here. Rest and relax while you heal up. I'm excited for your activation on the 15th. It's an amazing journey, but it can be exhausting. Take care of yourself and trust in the process. I can't wait to read your first WOW moment! Sending positive vibes from Canada! 🙂 Mary Beth and Marlinsmum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlinsmum Posted November 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thank you all for the good wishes, got to wash my hair today which was lovely 😁 Find I tire quite quickly so not doing too much. Kylie you will relate to distance, I am from Exmouth, luckily we get assisted travel so will be flying regularly for appointments.🤪 Darlene Mac, Kylie and Mary Beth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 1, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 @Marlinsmum wow that is way Western Australia right? I’ve heard of the Ningaloo marine park. Have you seen whale sharks? Rest easy. Washing my hair after surgery felt great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted November 1, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Oooh yes Exmouth is quite a trek. My brother was in Karratha for many years and did several assisted trips down to Perth for treatments. Lucky that program exists I guess! Especially with the price of fuel!! 😃 Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlinsmum Posted November 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Yes Exmouth is a special place, lived there over 30 years, Ningaloo Reef is spectacular and I love the diversity of wildlife there is. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
