Cochlear Implant

[DaveK]

Hi, i received Gamma Knife back in 2021 and since then growth has stopped and even some minor shrinkage has occurred. So i'm at the point where i'm considering a Cochlear Implant. I begin the evaluation/qualification process this week at NYU.

I'm hoping some of the Cochlear Implant recipients can share their experiences here whether they be positive, negative or deep regrets.

I have some balance issues already and i'm concerned the implant could worsen my balance or even potentially cause vertigo. 

Thank you!
