Rush keeps advertising that “Esteem” hearing implant that is supposed to be even better than his coklear?(sp?) implant. Still makes use of your natural ear drum. Think he said info was on envoy.com...
I have Meniere’s Disease. Very similar to what Rush deals with. Esteem specifically rules out use for those with Meniere’s.Rush couldn’t gain by Esteem either. Rush has a cochlear implant. I have one “dead” ear. The other only 35% hearing. But, I suffer from vertigo. Cochlear implants wouldn’t help. I discussed it a few times on KSFO. I like Mark Williams. That’s who they replaced me with.

And that is where my hearing problems are, I have perforations so large in both ear drums and so much scarring on them that they want to do a graft but it is considered ‘elective’ surgery and I can’t afford the 10,000+ for each ear for just the surgery costs.
So, I live with my severe hearing loss and I use close captioning and subtitles when ever I can and I avoid the radio. BTW, I am under 40.
