Hi, all,
I'm 45, a musician .... and I lost my hearing over 2 months ago, after surviving spinal meningitis.
I'm being considered for cochlear implants, at the House Ear Institute.
I've heard a lot of really good word about this procedure, and I would really *love* to be able to hear people talk again, and maybe even be able to make music again.
However, a friend of mine, a hearing child of deaf parents, tells me that there is a negative side to this procedure, which I may not have heard of, but which you folks are all to familiar with.
So ... what's the scoop? What is problematical about this procedure?
