There are some times when I hear better than people with no hearing problems. SO - after 6 years I would not be without these implants. If you turn external sound right _off_ then you stop hearing yourself - a little disconcerting.

I note a comment above about not being able to turn down/off ambient sound - well you can do that but you need the remote control and you can balance external sound volume against streaming sound for both TV and telephone. Of course what you also get is a set of little user guides that are written by someone who knows how the stuff works so misses steps and who reads them anyway right? And a clever remote control that saves having to learn the button presses on the processors. A TV 'streamer' that provides continuous audio stream from the TV.

A bluetooth hub which you can use for linking to phones with bluetooth, a remote microphone that you can use to listen to someone a bit away or perhaps the driver of a car if you are in the back seat. I was given a choice and I chose Cochlear as they seemed to be built for mishandling, not that I mishandle but I didn't want delicate! The latest ones come with a whole set of things, rechargeable batteries - mine have lasted that 6 years. So what about Cochlear the make implants. There is much money for cochlear implants to be made for the audiology & surgeon professionals - don’t sign their surgical waivers either. I had hoped to hear my grandchildren better, but they now sound like little men or robots. This was a death sentence to me - l lost music that I enjoyed so much & all quality hearing compared to my current cochlear hearing. I filed complaint with Florida Health Dept with obvious proof of deceptions & malpractices by both audiologist & surgeon, but they decided in favor of medical professionals.Ĭochlear implants are definitely a buyer’s beware issue, especially if you have Medicare & another insurance carrier to pick up difference. Changed audiologists several times & some improvement, but my cochlear hearing now is worse than when I had good, normal, low-tones only hearing in good ear. Additional post-surgical issues include losing balance for an entire year, relearning took hear again thru practicing many hours on various apps, & finding any comfort levels to tolerate distorted hearing on my iPhone’s Cochlear app. There are other options to try before drastic CI in a “good” ear. “Bilateral CIs was better hearing” & MRI on both ears was only good for 6 months (can no longer have MRIs if you have CIs) was emphasis in convincing me to decide on CIs for both ears. I lost a huge part of my quality of life. Surgeon failed to warn me before 2nd CI, as he did with 1st CI, or he should have simply refuse to do 2nd CI. I can no longer lipread like I used to either. I was able to snag one more 7 yrs ago, before they all vanished.Īfter 2nd CI, I am now deaf in that “good” ear, can no longer hear music, & ALL sounds are horribly distorted - permanently. I know I'm not alone, everyone who had the old but good hearing aids have posted everywhere to find more. I'm a very saddened client who just wants her sturdy non complicated holds her glasses and has been around since 1974, if not longer heading aid back. The device as a whole is 1,000 times worse, They're are too many dysfunctional details to write a lot of which are similar to the BAHA.
Can't wear it, won't a on at all, and the sound is worse. I mistakingly allowed myself to be convinced into getting the Osia implant in 2020. Didn't have that problem for 45 years until now. It's been a year and I'm still trying to DIY a way to keep my glasses on correctly. Also, they forgot to consider those without ears that are blind w/out glasses and unable to wear contacts. The rubber on the band disintegrated in only a few weeks due to constant readjusting the BAHA tabs on the band. The BAHA is either constantly popping off the post implant or what I've switched to the sound bar band, which again un-functional, I have modify it to go over my head instead of behind, because it won't stay in place or provide enough pressure on the bone to get a good conduction, behind the head.
They put the BAHA post implant to far back and high on the skull, making the sound unbearable and incoherent. The sound is either too loud or not loud enough. I can never get the volume right, never had that problem before. Now I have to constantly move the device to prevent squealing, in order to lay down and watch tv. I could wear my Starkey all day and to bed and not squeal the whole time, I could lay on the mic and still hear. Yet, It squeals if anything comes near it. I am politely extremely upset with this company and their very below par heading aids that they have claimed to be high tech and the best one the market.
