I am not sure I can help you re: London location/Cochlear Implants. My experience here in Toronto was much different than yours. I became bilateral deaf on December 20, 2006. Got referred to Sunnybrook by ENT St Michaels January/07. The audi appointment-Feb/07. Advised by her-suitable...

I just accessed-unavailable-try again.

Getting new hearing aids should make your life-less depressing. You have already taken steps to assist yourself. Good luck with your new hearing aids.

Nothing new re: topic esclation. Never "boring" to say the least.

Hi Vorsia: Good news for you-having harpo around. Peaceful and quiet here in Alldeaf.com except for seniors. Cheers and hope you continue to have a great year in 2015.

I don't play Wintario/Lotto 649 etc.

Mirfain: As for your essay re: "deafness" you can use your own experience. Consider how YOU would interact WITHOUT having a Cochlear Implant? Also have any "voice off" deaf persons interacted with you as to why YOU have an Implant? Have "they" suggested YOU aren't "real" deaf as YOU use a...

As I recall- my first "hearing aid" was in my eye glasses-Fidelity. A long time ago. aside: lasted on a few years as hearing loss increased. Believe the next one was Phonak BTE. In the 60s.

DeafZone chat-under construction and Deaf Chat world-unable to access. Presumably no great loss according to comments above.

Hi Trainman- I have been to Sunnybrook/Toronto-Cochlear Implant program many times since 2007. I was operated there. As you know it is one of three Cochlear Implant centres here in Ontario since 1984. The other 2 are: Ottawa and London- Adults. I guess you live in Lindsay, there abouts...

Hi trainman" I live in Toronto Ontario Canada. Of interest which part of Canada do live in? Cheers

That is a start from the surgeon. I guess you should make an appointment with a neurologist- as soon as possible. again much success in the immediate future as the "externals" can be activated. aside: I was 4 weeks from the operation.

Your surgeon is the person to evaluate the ongoing conditions since your Cochlear Implant operation a week ago. also, what can be done-forthwith. aiside: I was 70 when I had my Cochlear Implant operation and -luckily-didn't have the problems you list. Hopefully tomorrow will be the start...

Nadia & Neptune are separate processors thus ordering one wouldn't require the other. Nadia is a later model than Neptune or Harmony. aside: I have used the Harmony since August 2007. I am quite satisfied with the Harmony to date. In due course will get the Nadia. aside: I have mentioned...

Thinking back on my operation-July/07 I don't recall having much pain at all after the operation. They gave me pills if pain was "too much". It wasn't and didn't take any. I guess we appear to have a various reactions to the Cochlear Implant operation.

Whether my experience with Rechargeable batteries-Harmony is unusual? . I still use the same 4 batteries I got with "package" as well as the Recharging unit- way back in August/07.

What to expect from Cochlear Implant consideration: the ENT doctor will examine very carefully the "state of your ears". Also the state of your health- can you survive the operation? In general that is what happened to me-7 years ago in "review for Cochlear Implant". I was a bit older than...

Hi Sarah: Can you "imagine" a person becoming DEAF over a weekend and being "suitable" for a Cochlear Implant? What changes do you think would effected? The change in person's life VS not being "suitable" for a Cochlear Implant- remaining Deaf for the rest of their life? aside: I do have a...

Do you use an interpreter when going to your "family doctor"/dentist etc? Does that generate "concern" in your mind? Do you ask the other party to write out everything they say to you if interpreters unavailable?

As I understood matters: re Cochlear Implants vs Hearing Aids. One should use Hearing aids till your loss reaches the "point" that one doesn'"hear anything" with their aids. Usually around a 105 decibels. Than a Cochlear Implant is considered. Thus the "state of your health/ your ears" are...
