HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 1, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 @Concern parent Welcome to HearPeers. Having no useable hearing on one side makes listening difficult in many situations. There are options depending on the child’s age and the country you reside in. Have you reached out to Med-El yet? If not, maybe @MED-EL Moderator can get you connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameenlatif Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Force yourself to think, and the hearing put some effort in, it was nothing you did wrong believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Dodge Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 In 2019, I woke up one day and had no hearing in my left ear. My hearing had vanished overnight, it was gone in my left ear. It was by far the most traumatic event in my life, ever. In June of 2020, I received my MED-EL CI and started to hear for the first time. Now, two years later I feel normal. In my opinion, the folks at MED-EL are the best in the business. They know how to help people! I also started using this a free computer program called Angel Sound, it's designed for children with CIs. I use it to work on vowels and consonants, it helps. I hope this helps.
