Guest guest Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I am thinking about getting CIs. I am scheduled for the serial testing and CT scan. Lots of quetions un through my mind, but the one that stand out is this: I am in the 80-100 db loss range. have had progressive HL all my life. Now with HA, I can hear some sounds but I just cant understand speech at all! That is the main reason I want CIs. Can anyone tell me their story, esp if it is similar to mine? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I had a 90-100 db loss in both ears. My speech discrimination was 8% in my right ear and 30% in my left. I received a cochlear implant in February of this year in my right ear. At the 3 month evaluation my implanted ear now has a speech discrimination of 94%. My only regret is that I didn't get the implant years ago. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
