Tatyana Zlotsky Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 My name is Tatyana and my mother is scheduled to get Me-Del cochlear implant in a few weeks. I was hoping to speak with some folks who have recently had the procedure for advice and feedback. Mom is 59, has 12% hearing and is doing one ear to see how it goes.

pudge4moke Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi, I had my CI Med-El 2 weeks ago. I go for my post op visit 2/7 and processor will be turned on 2/28/17. I'm very excited. Surgery went well, about 2 hours. No complications and I have RA also. Nausea and dizziness was very little. I just have a very full feeling on the right side and swelling. Intermittent pain but bearable. Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/1469-looking-for-references/#findComment-14278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hi Tatyana, Tell your mom things will be fine. I'm 64 and had my implant in January and activation in February. I received the Med-el Sonnet and I am very pleased so far. My right ear was at 97% loss. I had a unilateral because my left ear has only 37% loss. 2 hour surger, 1 day in bed, was taking ibuprofen by second day. litle or no dizziness and no nausea. Taste buds are a little off and sinus drainage still going on but no major problems.
