Hi May Beth,

I really enjoyed listening to people's stories regarding their CI journeys. I was diagnosed with single sided deafness of unknown etiology when I was in 3rd grade. I seem to remember doing a hearing exam in K or 1st grade. So I believe I had hearing and lost it early. Regardless my left ear has heard nothing for a long time.
 

My biggest fear is to go through the implant and have little or no hearing gain. BUT, I have hopes I would be able to hear better if I get a CI in my left ear.

How much does a CI cost?

It would be great to hear from 2 ears for sure.

My insurance paid for my CIs.  Ask your CI center about costs.  Different CI centers handle this differently.  Some package MAPping appts in the charge and others bill everything separately.
