Is it possible that the hearing can come back?

[leapyrtwins]

Syl -

guess since I've known you for a while now, I overlooked your new signature information.  I tend to read it when someone is a newbie and tune out from that point on.  Probably not a good idea - as a lot of our situations change over time.

Time seems to heal a lot of AN side-effects.  I'm hopeful your headaches go away and that your dizziness gets better very soon.

In my experience, the exhaustion you are feeling since your return to work will go away in time also.  It takes a while - I can't remember how long in my case - but you'll be back to being "yourself" eventually.

Hang in there,

Jan

Hi Gloria,
I have the same good hearing that I did before surgery, though immediately after it was sketchy.  I think Hruss on this forum regained hearing after two retrosigmoids, you should look for her.  I think it came back quite a while after surgery which might be more relevant to your case. Good luck.

Marci, thank you for your reply.  I am still waiting for the opinion of the doctor who made the surgery but Already i asked to another Audiologist. Tomorrow when I have the complete information I will post in this topic.

I will look for Hruss.
Take care,
Gloria

I just posted on your other thread - can't wait to hear how you like the new TransEar!  I am still trying to find someone in my insurance plan to fit me - ugh.  Who knew it would be so difficult?

Debbi, exercising patience - sort of

Hi Debbi and everybody who were sharing with me my post.

 I let you know that, I got my TransEar at Oct. 8th but IT DIDN'T WORK!!!, as soon as the doctor put in my ear, I did not notice any difference with or without it, I told the doctor I think I can hear better without it, he insisted that I will notice the difference once the brain is adapted and it could happen within the 8 days!!; the first day I used it 4-5 hours, no improvementes in my hearing at all!!! I just got a big migraine that didnt let me sleep all night long. 
The day after I called to the TransEar Co and asked them if there is a history that the hearing aid can not work in someone, the lady asked me some information and she told me that she will call me back in few minutes, what she did is to call to the doctor and asked him to make another mold, she assumes that the mold was not done in a correct way.

The same day I went to return my TransEar and let them to make another mold....1 month more!!! is what I need to wait until they make another TransEar, I hope this can work on me.  DOES SOMEONE KNOW IF THE TRANSEAR CAN NOT WORK FOR SOME REASON? .  I feel so dissapointed and sad!!!

Regarding to the question of the topic, the doctor told me: EVEYTHING IS POSSIBLE, CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!, so I will keep waiting for my hearing someday will come back!!!

Gloria -

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with your TransEar 

I'm a BAHA user, so I don't really know how to help you - other than to suggest you PM either Boppie or Kbonner.  They both have a TransEar and might be able to offer your some assistance.

Good luck,

Jan

Hi Gloria,

Sorry to hear about the TransEar not working. Maybe Rick the TransEar guy will come along and have a better answer for you. It does make sense that how well the mold fits would matter, since it has to make contact in order to send the sound through your skull bone to the other side. If it didn't contact correctly, it would not send any sound over.

Hopefully they will get it right the second time, and you will hear a difference.

Good point, Steve.

From what I've heard (no pun intended) fit is key with the TransEar.

Thank you Jan, I agree with that,  for that reason it is very important to know if the center when we are going to get the hearing aid had experiences with the TransEar, unfortunatelly i could not get a reply in my topic where i asked if someone got there.

Take care,
Gloria

A hug,
Gloria

 I had my surgery 8yrs ago, mine hasnt come back , ive considered getting it cut completely to eliminate this ringing jet engine I have in my head , id like to know what the transear does for you

[Arasha]

pwatts,  When I get the TransEar I will post my experience, I hope this time will work. The cascade noise in my ear bothers me also...but, what can we do, just keep the faith.
Hug,
Gloria

Hi Steve, Rick answered me immediately as a  personal message, he is very helpfull, he says: " There are a number of things that could have happened, one of which is that something broke". Let's see if the next TransEar could work.

Take care,
Gloria

[sgerrard]

Excellent, I'm glad Rick got a message to you. Second time will be the charm.

Gloria,


Wow I thought I was the only one.  I had 28 fsr treatments.  Before and after I had very little hearing in my AN side ear, but  I could still hear the dial tone on the telephone very faintly.  Six months after fsr, It was completely silent.  Couldn't hear faintly at all.  Then about 1 year later I can now hear the dialtone very faintly again.
