1. What CI brand are yours?
I have the Nucleus 5. I was activated Dec. 21, 2009
2. Can you have a conversation on phone? for many times have you been using telephone since your first CI activation?
After 4 months I'm now able to make short phone calls. I can't yet handle any real elaborate phone calls yet but I'm only just starting out so I'm confident that will improve. The simplest things are easier. For example if I'm at the store I can call home to see if we need anything. Hearing will not happen over night. It'll take some time and effort on your part. I don't suggest focusing on the phone right away. Enjoy all the small sounds you pick up. As time goes on those sounds will start to get clearer. What didn't sound right one day could sound right a day or weeks later. The phone is down the road for most of us. Possible but keep in mind you'll still won't have perfect hearing. But I love how much I'm hearing now. I even went and watched a movie in a theater. First time in almost 20 years.
3. Have you ever got any dizziness during being a CI users?
I experienced a littly dizziness the fist couple of days after surgery. Nothing major though. I think it was mainly due to the surgery itself (The meds). But it wasn't bad at all. I was alert and awake the day of the surgery. I even came here to alldeaf and posted about 4 hours after my surgery.
