TurboRev Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 My name is Taryn. I have a congenital bilateral ski slope loss but my mid range has been decreasing. I recently learned I should be eligible for at least one cochlear implant (maybe two, depending on insurance and speech rec scores). I am currently researching different brands and experiences to be better armed when I find out if this is a decision I get to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 11, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 @TurboRev Welcome to HearPeers! Have you seen this about EAS? It combines acoustic amplification for low frequencies and CI stimulation for mid and high frequencies. https://blog.medel.pro/eas-implant-system/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRev Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Mary Beth - I am not a candidate. I initially looked into it, but it is not recommended for those who have had the "hearing loss" for over 30 years. I am 35. It makes sense; I think I would be massively overwhelmed if I had to try to make sense of two different kinds of input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
