Did they give you any Valium during procedure or any Percocet after for pain?

New subscriber here. I'm learning about how yours worked out. I just had surgery recently for my cochlear implant. They active mine 7 days after my surgery. If I get to hear back from you, I have some important questions.

I don't like many videos, but thank you, just liked. I'll be getting fitted next week hopefully.

How did u get the money to pay for a scleral lease? They cost thousands its crazy! Is there really much difference to rgp lenses?

Hey, I also have one sided hearing loss. But tinnitus is just ruining my life for 12 years, It just made me isolated and lonely from the world. Did you have tinnitus with the hearing loss, is it helpful ?

YESSSS i am so excited to hear you got directional hearing back! My SSNHL hit two years ago and the most irritating thing for me is lack of directional hearing, so i'm pumped to learn i might get it again. Activation in one week, fingers crossed

Which cochlear implant do you have?

I recently saw a video of you explaining how it went since the CI was placed on you and you said things that I needed to hear because I might need a CI myself in a few years. Im herring impeared since birth and now I’m almost 45 and my hearing is getting worse and worse. My doctor said to me that I might need a CI so I did some research to see what the benefits are. And I have to say you are the first person I saw that is excited about how it helped you. So I’m glad I saw your video. I will definitely sign in on your channel.

Today is actuvation of my cochlear implant after 3 hours. Excited and fear too.

Sorry to bother you ,but how often you buy new scleral.lense..is it once in every two years or more?ans pla tell.more.about the red eye drops.Hearing this red eye drops for the firsr time😊

hello man thanks for video i did new scleral lense but still i see double vision far i have one week doing in it and foggi every one hour can you help please

Ive to go in 3 days

I’m sooo happy for you. I went ahead with my surgery because of you. I’m now just 4 days after activation and all sounds are garbled. Can’t understand anything 🥲 Listening to your updates lifted my spirits 🙏

I am so scared am getting mine in 3days time 😭

Did you pay out of pocket? What is scaleral contact???

Is it suitable for tinnitus too ?

nice no needles thank god lol

Have you felt tinnitus?

Hi brother, did you ever get your left eye done? I have the same situation and my right eye is perfect or was. Just got cross linking 3 days ago and my right eye is so blurry im scared it wont get back to normal. They say it takes 1-3 months for vision to restore but these comments are worrysome. Did you ever get your other eye done?

People those who have both tinnitus and hearing loss, is this surgery useful for them or not ?

I have a pencil bag filled with all my supplies. I have disinfectant, saline, plunger, and paper towels.

i just got my scleral lenses but my doctor says i'm a good candidate for this but i'm scared lmao :(

hey i came back again are u good ?

I’m scheduled for CI surgery August 5th. I’ve had single sided deafness since 2022, so I’m very much looking forward to having that directional hearing again and being able to understand people’s speech better.

Have you felt tinnitus after implant ?

Im on 4th day ans light sensitivity is terrible, i physical have to close my eyes and my eyes shut no matter what i try to do

I was lucky. After surgery, no dizziness or pressure just felt different. took a month before they turned my non-everything is great can hear again. I recommended for anyone who has serious hearing problems. This is the way to go.

Fir some reason I'm struggling to open the other eye and constantly my eyes want to be closed. I cannot open the good eye that long without my eye forcing itself shut

Can't believe they give valium for this. No wonder thete is an opioid pandemic

did you have to wear sunglasses outside?

My Implantat is 6 days ago. Weak but stabil. Got the first orders from my wife to help. In three days I try to work half a day. Greetings from Munich. Bavaria. Still avoiding our wonderful beer. 😞

Thank you for sharing these videos have helped us so much. My husband and I have found them very helpful. He is on week 3 of having the cross linking procedure. He has Kerecatonus in both eyes. His left eye is severe and needs a cornea transplant. The Dr did cross linking in his right eye to save his vision and freeze it so it does not continue to get worse. His recovery has been a bit harder due to having the cross linking on his good eye. He only has his bad eye to rely on. He is meat cutter and we dont know when his vision will come back for him to return to work. He has the scleral lenses for both eyes which he was fitted with about a year before surgery. They have been a miracle for him with gaining his sight back. We are currently just taking things day by day as recovers from the cross linking his vision is very limited due to only being able to see out of his severe eye.

Just had mine today still never slept 😒 its 4am now. I think i would rather have hot sauce in my eye rather than this. They only gave me drops nothing else no Xanax or anything. The ice definitely helps for sure but having my eyes open oddly feels better than closed

hey whats happening to you my guy you good ?

I'm looking into getting cross linking surgery. The really scary thing for me is I'm legally blind in my other eye. So I'm going to be pretty much helpless afterwards .

Thank you for your post and I’m very sorry you had to experience this loss. Just a week ago I experienced sudden sensorineural hearing loss in my left ear and I am now completely deaf in that ear. My right ear is functioning very well. I am considering Cochlear implant to address my left ear and based on your video and other research the sound from the implant will be quite different than my good ear. My main question is, when you are using both ears to listen, when sounds came from the implanted side, do they sound altered or does the functioning ear compensate and provide input to the brain to filter out the “robotic” sound from the implant?

from Cxl to cochlear tp thyroid removal all in 5 years, wow

just had mine done day 2 1st day i was in extreme pain and was still getting around how to do medicaton. i was crying day 2 today all medication works very well and i feel a little discomfort when opening my eye so i keep it closed day 3-4 is when the pain should go so im excited for it

Ah man this is going to suck

Howdy, I just experienced total hearing loss last week in my left ear. I’m 64 and what a change to my life! I’m still on cortisone treatment to see if my natural hearing comes back but I’m not hopeful. I have spent considerable time looking at next options so I wanted to let you know I greatly appreciate the updates you have provided with your cochlear device. Please keep posting your progress reports, thank you again!

To inform about the post procedure the night of 1. Hot/cold flashes 2. No sleep the night of 3. Eye pain 4. Light sensitivity 5. Eye watering 6. Had time finding comfortable sleeping position 7. Too uncomfortable to keep your eye open

Omg I go on 24th

Question do you recommend doing both eyes at the same time?

I’ve been going through this for 1 going on 2 years right eye is perfect left eye is horrible!

Looks like 18 inch built in

What did u sayyyyyyy

Just received my scleral contacts a few days ago after getting diagnosed with keratoconus. I put them on the first day and they were a little uncomfortable so I’ve been trying to avoid wearing them, they look perfectly fine and there’s no cuts or anything on them so I’m gonna try really cleaning them and come back to update.

Are your eye number increasing after wearing scleral lenses

Thank you so much, please keep updating, your information is really valuable ✨✨.

I just got my second eye done. Sleep is key. Took 3 naps the next day. It totally killed the pain. The hospital billed my insurance for 2 eyes, 171K. My out of pocket added up to 1.3K total. broken down 1150 for my premium, 53$ visit free than a 75$ for initial testing.
