I just gave my Vestibular Battery test 2 days ago. I am told my right side is compensating for my balance with the left ear - left ear is quite bad but right ear is also “not good” but it is doing the heavy lifting a fair bit with my balance it seems. Now I am due for my MRI tomorrow. Does anybody know if the results of the testing might provide cause to cancel the upcoming surgery? I am due for the CI surgery next month.
Good morning friends from Singapore,
As my date of surgery approaches, I am keen to get reviews from all of you in order to help me pick the right device. I am trying to choose between the Kanso 3 ( non Nexa) and the Nucleus 8 processor. Can you share your experiences both positive and negatives? My personal preference was for off the ear Kanso but I am not sure it will stay completely hidden behind my hair as I don’t have very thick hair - but I did feel it could be more “hands free convenient” compared with the Nucleus 8. On the other hand the Nucleus 8 has a familiarity like the BTE I am already using - and it’s flat round processor is much thinner than the Kanso, so I think it could stay hidden in my hair much easier. But otherwise I don’t know anything more about both of them. Can you please share your experiences? Thank you in advance.
Hello wise friends,
I am actively following up and reading all your post to pick up as much information as possible. I understand that the first few weeks post activation will likely be a lot of buzzes and beeps. From when can I expect to start hearing voices and words? I am not expecting perfection in the early days to be realistic but it would help to have a general idea of how many weeks ( or months) it might take in order to hear voices or even words?
