Sorry you had such a rough time with migraines, and then Meniere’s. I was just curious, if I may ask, did that affect both ears or one?

Both ears, the left lost about 50% and the right lost so much that ever the most powerful hearing aid made would not help. My speech recognition was at 8%, that went to 96% at a year after getting the cochlear implant.

One of the supper specialist gave me steroid injections in both ears which initially helped, but wore off after a month each time. That left me with permanent distortion in both ears.
