Cochlear Implant Surgery - The first 11 days

Hello, I suffer from single-sided deafness, and I’m getting a cochlear implant. This is my experience of the first 11 days, and this video covers the recovery process!
I hope that sharing my experience is helpful to someone out there.

I had my surgery 5 days ago so I'm bed bound with vertigo too, watching videos about implants. The first two days were rough, but it's improving. Thanks for the video, nice to know I'm not the only one. Hope we did the right thing.

It is getting better each day, and make sure not to do too much once you get past the dizziness. It can come back. But, the device is working (I just put up a new vid today of where I am with it now).

Hopefully your dizziness is better. Mine has finally stopped

@@bionic_band_director Yes better thanks, boy that first week was pretty rough. They turn the thing on next week, fingers crossed. I had the same pitch changes you mentioned, really looking forward to/ hoping that harmonies sound better again.

@@vic6413 it is better after the first adjustment, but it will take some time

Oh my gosh! I did not know you were going through so much. Stumbled upon your vidoes after searching for cross linking for KC. And now a cochlear implant! You are such a fighter. Really hope you get better. God bless! :)

Wait i need to know how it went. Do u still get vertigo now? Hows the sound?? Were u completely deaf now u can hear sound like normal??

[@KazukiMatsuoka]

I went through the surgery too. You do not get sounds all at once, it will overwhelm the brain. You start with some sounds, like four different tones, get used to it, then you get some more and more till you get everything.
