Certainly is NOT a cure but it sure has helped a LOT of people that want to hear. The key here is WANT or DESIRE to hear and research is on going all the time. As to scar? I can't see mine as it seems to be right where the ear attachés to the head, looks to me like they cut right at the apex and folded the ear forward, did their thing and put it back, as far as I know I had no stitches at all, and while surgery was done in afternoon I went home about three or four hours later. I guess I was lucky as it was a piece of cake. Been activated about three months now and tremendous improvement. I'm actually starting to enjoy getting out in groups and being able to take part. Something I've not been able to do in years.
Any one in the Phoenix area I sure would appreciate if you would PM me or contact me. Regards
