Lucyr1969 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Hi. My name is Lucy and I lost my hearing in my left ear. I recently got the cochlear implant and lost my taste buds. Has anyone else experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 28, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 @Lucyr1969 congratulations on your CI! Which processor did you choose? Loss of taste is a possible side effect from CI surgery. For most it is temporary. If you have a follow up appt with your surgeon, it may be helpful to bring it up.

Have you heard anything more from Lucy? I am interested to hear if her taste returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
