CI after 15 years single sided deaf?
I had an episode about 15 years ago which took me from excellent hearing in both ears, and left me with a 20 db loss in left ear, and effectively deaf (0% word recognition) in right ear. I have mild, intermittent tinnitus in the left ear and constant, loud high-pitched tinnitus in the right ear. After several years of dealing with my insurance company, they have referred me to Emory in Atlanta for evaluation.
Has anyone with single-sided deafness received a CI after this length of time and had a successful implantation? I’d honestly be happy if it mitigates the tinnitus some, and increased word recognition, selective hearing, and improved sound location would be a bonus.
