Good luck! Let us know how the surgery goes and your recovery.
I've just started hearing recently about this. My googling found:
Hearing Aids, Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Hearing Impaired - Envoy Medical
Seems to be good information but I don't know anyone either who's been part of the trial. I'd be curious to find out if I'd be a candidate.
You failed the initial test because you weren't able to understand the words requested, am I understanding that right? Why? Wouldn't that have made you the right kind of candidate for the Envoy implant? Maybe I don't understand ...
