I am really new here. my name is wahoo13579. I am 14 and have been deaf since the age of 8. not totally deaf but in my right ear I can't hear a helicopter right next to me. I want to know how deaf you should be before even considering cochlear implants?  I ihave %55 hearing in my left and %40 percent in my right. my hearing keeps on going down and i am so scared. I have had a lot of surgerys, but I have never looked into a surgery like this one. it is a life decision. if I do get cochlear implants I can't go back. what do you guys think. what percentage of hearing loss should I have to get cochlear implants? and should I be scared? and also if anyone has had can you tell me what you did to prepare yourself? thank you


love brooke
