Hello! I can hear again

40 years ago, I can not listen to my children. I first saw I was hearing a difficult time, I did not did not seem to mind if they Henchao, but other people do.

At that time, many hearing aids are sold to people of good will with little or no professional training. A gentleman came to our home, and made a small test, and sell me a hearing aid. An impression, I was taken to the canal and shortly thereafter, I heard in my right ear hearing aids.

Rarely listen to what I have in my left ear gradually disappear. Over the past year, I slowly realized I lost what little I had left the hearing.

New technology has brought better and better hearing aids. I sadness, I have not kept pace with hearing loss. A new, better aid, will be installed on all, and help for a period of time, but soon, I have tried to understand it by reading lips.

During a vacation trip to Arizona in 2007, I went to profoundly deaf overnight. The doctor told me that the inner ear caused by the virus. Back home, I have checked out by an ear nose and throat (ENT) specialists. MRI exam showed nothing unusual.

I was accepted into the cochlear implantation in the new plan-ning Hospital in Toronto. The audiologist confirmed my deafness. Balance test and CAT scan performed. The purpose of all implants.

I met with Dr. Chen, the head office of the plan. He told me, I have otosclerosis, a condition which hardens sponge bone near the base of the stapes. One of the three small bones in the ears. He suggested that a common 45-minute operation, the implementation of whether to replace the bone and platinum and plastic prosthesis. I should be some hearings. If we do not help, we will do the same implant.

Surgery conducted a few days later, I have also heard some voices. After 12 days, I have heard the water in my shower for the first time in many years. My husband helped me unload the dishwasher and the clanking of cutlery and dished out .... is deafening.

Doctors very strange that no one, never mentioned otosclerosis, only to me. While some such as deafness, and slowly progress, and it will never be a person, it may be repaired. We went to the local hearing aid clinic, get tested, and left with the latest and best assistance.

If I suggest to anyone who has a serious hearing loss problems, a line to take what action it would be best to the hearing center in your area. E-learning to all the hearings, as well as parts of the ear. If you do not do that, you can live through what I did. Withdraw from social contacts and friends for a simple operation.

I do not have good hearing. In another few weeks, I will be all fitted with a new hearing aid, and that should do the trick. In fact, I can hear my husband and family talk directly into my ear is a wonderful start. I can not wait to hear those in the food, because they by the dishwasher. It's music to my ears.
