It's good to hear from you, Mike, but I'm sorry to hear about your scar tissue. Sounds painful, I know you are going to miss your BAHA!

Mike -

I am SO sorry to hear this  :'(  From what I've been told by my neurotologist stuff like this happens, but it doesn't happen very often.

So, consider yourself very unique if that helps life your spirits!

Please keep us updated.

Best,

Hi Mike,

Sorry to hear you've had this complication.  My doc also told me about the possibility of this but said it is not usual.  Hopefully your revision surgery has taken care of it once and for all.  I know you'll miss your BAHA but it won't be too long.  Hope you are feeling better soon.

Mike -

glad you are doing well today.  I hope you heal very fast - and that you're back to wearing your processor soon.

Keep us posted,
