My wife got her implant 2 years ago now. She has thought about getting the other but has been told its not much of an improvement. What has your experience been with having the second one. She has a hearing aid for the other ear. I do know she loves the implant though because it allows her to do things she used to not be able to. We went on a cruise recently and she got to swim with the dolphins which are her favorite animal in the world. She had to take the hearing aid out but had a waterproof cover for the implant. The fact that she could hear while being in the water thrilled her so much that you could see it on her face. Anyhow, sorry to digress, was just curious as to your experience with the second implant.

Ya she has been debating and the doc said she may or may not see benefits from it. From what I know she started off being able to hear but early on she started losing it and lost if fairly early. She got the implant when she was 37. She said the implant once she got used to it was a vast improvement over the 2 hearing aids she was using. Like you, she carries extra batteries of both. Thanks for the insight though. I have talked to her about it but always love to learn more.

Completely forgot. One of her favorite things is that she can connect her implant to bluetooth and take calls, listen to music, etc. Shes done it at work and sometimes I will see her wandering around not paying attention to me and I will realize shes listening to music. Its really odd not seeing or hearing anything to indicate shes doing that. So sneaky.
