HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted August 18, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yep, I have missed birthdays, anniversaries, holidays...pretty much any special occasion you can think of. we just have to be very thankful for the knowledgable doctors and technology which keeps us ticking. On that note, THANK YOU IVANA for all you do for your community, and MED-EL. Without you, I wouldn't have the gift of hearing that I do. Granted, I could go to another company but why not settle for the best Ivana Marinac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted August 18, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Kay, do you have a cochlear implant? I don't believe we have met.

My decision to go for an implant was one of best decisions in my life. It wasn't easy but it was wortwhile - actually, just this afternoon I made decision what should do further with my engineer. It's never-ending story...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh... This was pretty tight schedule... If you just throw a coin on the side - you'd be a rich man. Well... You're now - with life experience. I remember last year: me, learning for my board exam and you in the hospital - waiting patiently what will happen...:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Kay Posted August 19, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks Mary Beth Agreed! Adam, I came on hearpeers just as you stopped. I hoped it wasn't because of me! ? I got my CI in June and was just acivated July 14th. Scarry decision but I'm glad I made it. Last Thursday I went back to have a mapping and was told I am doing very well. I may be going back before the 2 months are up to try to get the motor sounds softened though . I'll give this mapping a little time and see what happens. I actually took my processor off when I was driving the other night the motor sound was so loud I couldn't stand it! I think I was ready for the CI long before I got it. Even though I have a long way to go I am still hearing much better than I was! I wore 2 ha for many years until about 4 years ago when my left side went totally in less than a month. Since then I have gradually been losing my right ear as well and rapidly the 2 weeks before surgery. I have dropped out of many activities because of it and am anxious to get some of these back as my hearing improves. Especially my music! That one actually brought me to tears. I know what you mean about missing birthdays holidays etc. Not fun, but without the dedication of the wonderful medical people I have been privileged to meet I would not be here. I am eternally grateful! Glad you're doing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted August 19, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Kay, we have VERY similar hearing journeys. I'm sure you've already been told about the 3 P's. Music and the phone took the longest to come back for me. I can remember standing in front of the worship team as they practiced and not understanding anything but the drums. I thought I was never going to be able to enjoy music again. That couldn't have been further than the truth. You will get there. It just takes some time.
