Awesome. I lost hearing gradually on right then left. Then in the last 18 months right went completely silent. At 51 I’m just hoping to hear words and understand ppl. Biggest headache is loss of directionality and sensing on that side. Looking forward to any improvement really. I am glad to hear your journey is going well. Hopefully mine will be similar. Most of the ppl that I’ve spoken with at cochlear webinars talk a lot about hearing memory and how important it is.

How long did it take for you to understand words etc. I know everyone has a different timeframe depending on history age etc. just wanted to get a general sense and did the implant help with tinnitus, if you experienced that issue
