I don't want to alive suffer.:fart:
 
Aw I'm sorry to hear that and wish you all the best on having it removed...
 
Um, the only way you can have the CI removed is if there is a medical reason to do so, or if the implant failed. Usually, they will remove the implant due to damage from infection, and then, reimplant. However, I don't know of any situation where the implant was removed just on the person's desires alone.

Reason being, it's a surgical procedure. Not to many doctors are going to be willing to open somebody up unless there is a good medical reason to do so.

If you are having a hard time with headaches, I would suggest going back to your audi and maybe getting re-mapped? It's possible that the settings need to be tweaked.

Good luck!
 
Sorry your CI hasn't worked out for you.

If you are feeling dizzy and hearing buzzing noises why not just leave it turned off? Are you saying you are experiencing all of this with the CI turned off as well? I have a friend whose CI didn't work for him either, mainly due to the fact that he never heard sound before as an adult and his brain didn't know what to do with it. He felt dizzy and had headaches too when hearing sounds. He still has the implant in but hasn't used it for years - he is quite happy.

I think that surgeons are generally reluctant to expose you to the risk of surgery again when the end effect is the same as leaving the CI turned off.
 
I'm sorry that it wasn't working out for you. I can understand your position here about wanting it remove, If I were you, I would feel the same way. Best of luck to you. :)
 
Thanks I am glad of you be nice respect to me remove implant

Thanks I am proud you want to against to war cochlear. I know myth is not successfully but I know someone people don't understand what is means english do not know what is means doing about to misunderstand community is that difficult to reading and listening.

I am ADHH and conflict to wreck my implant is nerves. I am suffer inside funny turn off my implant to still headache and worst buzzing and don't like about interrupt to much all the time awful is not good health condition. I know people don't know why are hurt to harm sickness> I complaint to Saskatchewan is don't have pay new special is don't have an x ray or nuclear is risk ct scan. I want to remove implant. I want to stop it headache and buzzing. I am dizzy about to harm inside my brain is confused. I am not want to tell to EMR is Saskatoon 911 ambulance .....................

I know strict to protect to people say go away. That is not fair to doctor and psycholoist and ambulance or other people.

I understand even through I don't know what it like to have CI, but it won't hurt to see what the doctor says about this, there could be alot of reason for them not to remove it or maybe they can...Just talk to your doctor and go from there, wish you all the best :)
 
would be able remove if better stop it implant

If I would be like remove implant and can do it surgery is implant. I want to complaint to audilogisy is that why not fair to people bit feeling means to control to forces wearing cochlear implant. I don't like an wearing oppression is hurt to forces or must wearing cochlear implant. that is not nice to people in Saskatoon. I am know grant to that is why not fair to people have dirty worker is in Saskatoon SPARC. I don't like that is means hurt to people worker think so can do you become hearing impared. I don't care not believe that is not true story.
 
It sounds like you have a bad case of tindinitous(sp?) that isn't unusal. Most times it goes away but sometimes it doesn't. Not sure if removing the implant would help that.

On the other hand.....there are other reasons that you may be actually having pain/headaches. Anything from infection to the implant possibly having moved maybe? I would think (and I'm not a dr or someone who knows alot about this so it's just an opinion) that the internal part would not bother you much once the external processer was no longer sending a signal to your brain, unless there is a problem around it. Of course you might have problems getting a dr. to listen if they think it's all in your 'head'. (mental)

Since your problem is hard to understand with your written english perhaps part of the problem between you and your drs. is communication as to what is going on? Your first post was very hard to figure out. If you are having the same problem communicating with your medical staff I can see why they are thinking you don't know what you're talking about. Good communication is necessary to get your questions across about what may be going on. Of course since you're young they may be thinking you're just being pressured by your peers to not use the CI, which happens alot I'm sure. (I've been a teen, I've watched my kids and I know how awful those we think of as our friends at that age can be. sigh)
 
Go and see your doctor about it. And explain how you are feeling. Or just leave the implant inside but don't wear the BTE.
 
Smithtr, I tend to agree with Jag. I have a couple of questions for you. How long have you been implanted?
Have you been hit in the head recently?
Have you been ill lately, any fever or anyhting like that?

If you have recently been implanted, it could be that it takes some getting used to. I have heard that getting used to the activated CI can take a very long time. Several peopl ehave told me that they hated wearing it for the first several months.

Have you hit your head recently. This is just a personal thought here, but as jag said, it may have moved. It is possible that the array may have come out of your cochlea. if that is the case, that could possibly explain why you have the horrible headaches, pain and dizziness. If the array becomes dislodged, it could be sending a tiny electrical "shock" (duo to a lack of a better term at the moment) This could be why you are in so much pain.

If you have been sick lately or had a fever, thiese could be symptoms of some type of infection. This too could explain why you are in pain. Think about it. When you have a cut on your finger that gets infected, it gets VERY tender, and kind of nasty. There could be swelling due to infection that is putting pressure on the implant causing pain.
There are many, many reasons why you are feeling as bad as you are. As said above, find a way to clearly communicate with your doctor exactly what is going on and what you feel. You may have a problem that could easily be fixed. Either way, good luck!
 
I think so start September is 2000. I complaint to doctor refused to listen but I know ER is Royal of University OF Saskatoon. I know don't fair to remove imlplant to my head.

I feel continue is worst to headache and dizzy. I know but doctor bad not structure is SPRCA> that is not fair to work analyze is doctor. I know frustrated. I want to change health system is health care is legal is 18 years old remove
 
doctor not listen deep research check what is my implant inside feeling bother

I think so Saskatoon is stupid that is not fair to people doctor. I want to all right my choice remove implant. I don't want to suffer sick that is bad humans. I am not happy not fair to respect to doctor or psycholist or mental. I don't know what is say psycholist to listen to ignored to people deaf feel grieved to hurt. THat want to remove implant of cochlear. I expect to not think so not fair to doctor won't help fix or ignored. You are can't do better then change bad do that stop doctor is dirty mistake that is wrong hurt to insult to people. I know
 
You know, you aren't going to get your CI removed by talking to ER drs. Just not going to happen, they don't specialize in CI's. If you are really having problems with the CI the ER drs probably aren't the best option to find out why. I'd say make an appointment to see your ENT. Of course getting an appointment may take awhile there in CA but shouldn't be completely impossible. CI's can cause dizziness, but it's usallly a temporary problem. Unless you've taken up the problems you're expericencing with your ENT/CI surgeon all your complaining isn't going to do much.
 
I think so true story about to my feeling really hard understand. I don't know what is happened feeling illness seizure and problem connection with cochlear implant. I can't say can't get thought right way.
 
Find one of the very BEST CI surgeons for a consult. Tell him everything and let him find solutions. Listen to him. Do what he says. Anything can happen. If you can't find anyone to listen, then keep trying to find someone to listen and you may find a solution that way. May I suggest bringing someone that clearly understands you but to share with the surgeon what you say because it wasn't always easy to understand your dilimena.......

For a while, I had a horrible mapping. I just went silent until I went back to the original place. They fixed the mapping. Each cochlear implant is different with a different outcome. Good luck!!
