    Cochlear Implanty yay or nay

    As mentioned above: not everyone's ears are the same. That is why an ENT doctor must examine exactly-what the situation is for you. Every adult does have a CHOICE to arrange an appointment however what the ENT "finds" is very specific to you. Thus in the end whatever happened to me with a...
