Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Lee, I never had an MRI for my CI evaluations. I only had CT Scans.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I had a catscan done at my local hospital and carried the proofs to Dr. Labadie for my appointment in Vanderbilt.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 If I remember right the CT scan is the bones. The MRI gives a more detailed scan and includes more of the soft tissue. Or am I wrong? susan & hobbes michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 , You are correct. The ct scan is for the bones and the mri is for soft tissue imaging. I didn't have to have an mri prior tomy ci either. The dr merely wanted to make sure the bone structure was ok to go ahead with the surgery and to see how much actually bone he would have to drill out in order to get the implant in. Many people have ossification and this test helps the surgeon to know if he needs to use a different implant or not.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Hi Lee - I've NEVER had an MRI - not required by my CI Clinic - I did have a Cat Scan and all was fine - Pleased I have the N24 with the removable magnet though - just in case - in the future the need for an MRI arises.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 A couple of questions occurred to me after reading Eve's mail: If you implant the 'good' ear - can you still use hearing aids in the good ear while waiting for the 'hook up' or in doing the implant is the residual hearing lost forever? What happens if the implant doesn't work? Is 'rejected' by the body or faulty...? Are there any cases of this? I have read case where one user didn't like the implant and had to have tons of 'mapping' and hard work before finally being 'happy' at the level they had after 2 years... With all the talk here on Bilateral implanting, Eve is there a chance where you can opt to go with the weaker ear first with option to do the other ear in future? Hmmm? Jules Researching CI Testing Hi All, Well, I had another round of testing Tues. and I am a CI candidate now.. The biggest decision for me is do I implant my right ear which has not heard speech in 21 years.. Reason unknown, but i had a car accident and fractured my skull and ruptured my ear drum. After everything healed I could no longer hear much at all with that ear.. My Audie is betting that when I had the accident the cochlear lost some fluid and the hairs were damaged very rapidly.. Not sure if the Catscan will show this? My left ear has about one frequency that has hearing left. The info. I am getting is that the better the ear that's implanted, the better chances the results will be.. Still there are no guarantees and I will be completely deaf when I don't have the processor on.. The audie has recommended I do the good ear but it is still my choice in the end.. Naturally I want the best chance at success.. I will see the Surgeon next and have a catscan.. Is there anyone here that has a CI been able to put on a helmet with the CI in place? I don't want to be completely deaf when I ride snowmobiles and motorcycles ) The Audie said maybe I would have to Modify my helmets a little which I would not have a problem doing.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Jules, I am LOL at being called Eve ) It's Eve " L " like Evel kinevel.. Anyway: No use of AIDS ever again once surgery is done. If Implant fails the residue hearing is lost forever. According to my Audie, Strong Memorial in Rochester NY will not do bilaterals. I am a Technician that works in the semi-conductor industry for Kodak so I asked, and have studied a lot about how the CI works. All the info. I am getting as far as which ear to implant is based on the hair cell roots or base in the cochlear itself.. This is where they position the elctrodes that produces the pulses that are then sent to the brain and processed as sound.. Since my hearing loss (nerve deafness) is directly related to the LOSS or damage of the hair cells then I may have less success that a person who has perfect hair cells but has a problem with the other structures of the ear. The rest of my ears have perfect function, but that does NOT do me any good and means nothing with the CI as it by-passes/replaces all other functions of the ear. If I am wrong on this, could anyone on here correct me please.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hi Evel, My daughter has very profound SNHL which means she has no more hair cells in her cochlea and that is the reason why she was an excellent candidate for a cochlear implant. The elecrodes replaces those hair cells. People with healthy hair cells usually do not qualify for cochlear implants. When they insert the electodes usually the remaining healthy hair cells are destroyed so it does not matter if you had some left or not. My daughter also had ossification and she is doing great with her CI she hears VERY well with it. Before her CI she did not respond at 110db with the most powerful hearing aids and now with her CI she responds at 15 20 and 25db. This is how I understand it. I wish you the best, Louise mother of (8, CI) > All the info. I am getting as far as which ear to implant is based on > the hair cell roots or base in the cochlear itself..
