Title: SSD before treatment?
Post by: lholl36233 on August 31, 2009, 03:46:52 pm

Hi,

Was anyone SSD before treatment, had radiation and then got the BAHA? 

Thanks.

I became SSD after my AN surgery - and then got the BAHA.

If you are SSD, you would be a candidate for the BAHA, no matter how your unilateral deafness came about.

Mike Corso (mikjul1) - who posts here a lot under the hearing section - didn't have an AN at all.  He and his teenage son are both unilaterally deaf as the result of a hereditary condition.  Mike just got his BP100, his son has had the implant surgery and is healing.

As Jan said I am SSD do you have a ? you would like to ask we are hear for everyone as a big support group for AN and hearing impaired.  ;D  I do have a Meningioma brain tumor but very small Dr. just watches it every year to is if it grows it is on the left frontal lobe but it is not a AN but still scarey when you hear brain tumor. Luckily it is a real slow growing kind if at all. that is how I came to this site along time ago looking at tumor info and found the hearing part of the web but I never told anyone I had a small tumor.
