Well, I've been off the grid adjusting and coping and spending time with family. The surgery Is now only 17 days away. I am getting anxious but trying not to at the same time. I have decided to go with translab, to me this is the choice I want to make. The thought of being single sided deaf is a bit disturbing, however I am experiencing it off and on now anyway. It will just be a definite . I decided to go with the baha afterwards. I want to thank everyone for the advise and support and I will try to update after surgery to let everyone know how everything turns out.
Thanks again for all your support,

Shari

Hi Shari...

Very best wishes for your impending surgery....and you will adjust OK to the single-sided deafness as nature has a way of dealing with that. Indeed I hardly ever notice mine at all these days.

Best Regards

Derek

Residing UK. In 'watch & wait' since diagnosis in March 2002 with right side AN. Initially sized at 2.5cm and now self reduced to 1.3cm.
All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.
