Re: Re: Anyone more than 10 years post op?

1965 here...so that's 42 years post-op.

I had a bad ear infection last year and had a hearing check after that. Not a lot of changes from 20 years before.

I have State Govern't Employee insurance, so, I don't pay.

though I live in England so don't have to pay (other than through myNational Insurance which isn't much!)I wish I didn't have to go, I have to be suctioned nearly every time Igo, I have only not had it done twice which was a fantastic feeling.
