Happened to me also, in the 90's....I had 2 surgeries in N.C., and 2 in Fla. Still, I have drainage/infections and pain...and the last specialist told me there would be no more surgeries for me! Ear drops and infection antibotics have been the norm for many years!....
I went to Mayo clinic to get their opinion there, as the pain worsened. That's when they told me "You would be an excellent candidate for the CI!"...But we might have to do some more surgeries on ur ears due to the problems. Gave me all the brochures, etc., to make up my mind. (Along with different "ear drops" and pain medication.
I was floored! After so many surgeries and all these specialists cannot help me with my ear(s) problem and they suggest a CI????
WTF???....After 4 prior surgeries....then suggesting MORE surgeries....then suggesting a CI ?? I believe to implant a CI itself, consists of several surgeries, right??
Hey!...I'm not the smartest lady on the block, but would anybody in their right mind even consider something suggested like this??
HA's dont work on me, as my nerves are dead (after a blotched surgery)...and I have no ear drums!..So there ya go! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to undy this!
