Oh Happy Me
The surgery was successful. I’m still in pain but it has subsided to the degree that I am no longer taking the prescription pain killer medication. Tylenol is not as effective, so I feel more pain, but it is subsiding. And Tylenol doesn’t make me as sleepy.
I am hopeful that the good hearing I had when the first implant was installed two years ago will be restored. It was a defective unit in a defective batch created on a particular manufacturing line within a specific time period. During my periodic visits every three months, my Audiologist at the University of Arizona noticed the degradation after a year had gone by and alerted the manufacturer who sent a doctor to examine me and tested the implant. She determined that a certain number of the transducers at the higher frequencies in the implant had failed.
