Oooo… me too! is it applies for one ear only? Or both?

Amy Cohen Efron

It costs $97,000 for CI. You can make a profit by going deaf and getting 99k and then going back to hearing after 97k CI

My doctor gave me a wrong pill Now I can hear! I lost my deafness. I will be suing the doctor for $99,946.00!

Let me tell you, when I was deafened, in 1971, after a bout with Spinal Meningitis, it was a whole new world to learn to live in.
Not only were the things I wanted to hear (music) gone, but also the ability to hear warnings.
If you think losing your hearing is going to be a walk in the park, you're sadly mistakened.

Wow, we're worth some money for sure!!! I wish I could get $99,946 this easy! Anybody? ;) Amy also asked a really good question! Suppose it is for only one ear, oh my gosh! Imagine all the money!

For Gary, I'm sorry about what you have gone though! You're right, being deaf isn't, indeed, a walk in the park… especially after you have tasted and experienced the world full of sound. Being shaped by two major senses, sight and hearing, are something of essential that we must survive with in our modern society and when one of our senses fail, it is like losing both of our legs or arms, leaving us permanently crippled with a written “outcast” sticker taped on the forehead. While the “hearing” society rubs their nose and moves on, we spend unbelievable amount of energy into just surviving through. Is it fair? No. Even though I have been born deaf and haven't yet immersed myself into the world of music or sounds, I still find it unfair. Furthermore, My husband listens to his music whenever he can and even collect many different kind of ambient-based music, and you know what. I can't even enjoy it with him! It is what gets to me the most nowadays; however, we do share our appreciation for art and photography so don't worry my dear, all isn't so bad. My advice would be to adapt whatever is happening in your situation and make the best out of it. After all, we aren't exactly left with many options to choose from.

But hey, don't let this hardship stop you from seeing it at other side. This new world of deafhood, can also be a fun, positive place to learn and adapt… perhaps, you will be surprised and even impressed at what you can learn about yourself. Maybe by then, you will be roaming around with your full potentials! Unleashed and unbounded by your own limitation! ;)

Sorry for my really long comment, I just feel like writing, or rather, type.
