Bonnie, did you say how and why I get my implant? Well yes I have trouble making

decision if I want it or not like poor lack of decide to say yes or no. my good

left ear have been going down slowly around 97. I have trouble understand speech

with group of people and hearing on the phone sometime it depend what kind of

phone I used like some phone speakers are bad and other are not. I remember

around like 98 or 99 I bump my head pretty hard it cause my left hearing ringing

like crazy last ten or fifteen minutes I don't know why. other time my ear ring

last for two months then back to normal. so I went to audiologist to have tested

so they notice my hearing was going down and suggested if I should get implant

before my hearing gone complete deaf. well that's a very difficult decision

because it not going to be perfect and I kept hearing deaf people decline having

implant also it will not be normal hearing. my sisters suggested that I should

get one yeah but I hate to say no to them so I said yes. the doctor also try on

my right ear with little sharp needle direct to the eardrum so I can hear the

vibrate but it did not work because my ear couldn't pick up any sound from

vibrate to the nerves I only hear high frequently on my ear so they leave it

alone. I'm still wearing hearing aid on my right ear to help balance sound with

my left ear. so when I get a surgery on my left then try sprint or 3G sprint

cochlear implant, oh I hate it because it so high pitch I'm not used to it and

it sound like unnatural around me. so my second surgery from last June to have

freedom and yes I feel little better I can hear both high and low frequency but

sometime I have trouble understand speech. I think we change it because the

doctor and audiologists thought maybe device implant inside my coclear was

broken and we haven't heard from them so far if the device broken or not. sadly

my left ear going down and my right ear stay the same ever since. I know I had

to let it go because sometime I do missed my own hearing. Michele s.
