Ozzie Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 I am 67 years I had Tinnitus from aloud sound at age 18 and gradually lost my hearing( sensorineural hearing loss) hearing diagram shows sharp drop in high frequency at 1000 Hz down to 70-90-100 . I can communicate with someone if no background noise but when I am with friends in crowded place or with any background noise I am completely deaf and can't understand a word they say.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted December 18, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 @Ozzie This link may give you an idea if you are eligible for an EAS system (uses CI input for mid to high frequencies). If you go on the Med-El website for the US and click on clinic finder, you can select EAS and your state to find a center that can evaluate you for candidacy. Wishing you the best! https://www.medel.com/eas-candidacy Ozzie 1 Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/5016-am-i-candidate-for-ci/#findComment-32684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
