Difficulty hearing

[thecakes]

     I would like to have a Baha too but I am scared to death because of memories of the AN operation.  So many complications, but now I have no headaches or any pain in my neck or anything.  I suffered a stroke and went in a comma for 4 weeks and other complications also.  I,m afraid something will go wrong or I will be stuck with bad headaches or neckaches.  How do they do this operation?  Is there alway pain?  What do they say can go wrong?  I am just afraid to tamper with this.

From what I hear the BAHA surgery is very minor--usually done on an outpatient basis.  You could probably google it and get better info, or start a thread requesting other BAHA recipeint's input.

One of my symptoms is hyper-sensitivity in my AN ear.  It seems strange that the ear I am supposedly partially deaf in, hurts when my dogs bark or my kids scream, etc.  I wonder if that Hyper-Sensitivity goes away after radiology treatment of the tumor?  Any comments?

thecakes - My surgeon said that some drs do the implant surgery as in-office procedure, it is that easy.  I had a low grade headache after surgery that's it.

dowdog- I had translab almost 1 year ago.  I notice sensitivity during very loud music at the higher frequencies. It does seem strange that our good ear is extra sensitive, but maybe its nature's way of preserving our hearing.luv2teach
