So, tell you a little about me. I was born with no hearing in my left ear, I had hearing in my right ear until I was about 10 years old and after my grandmother's death couple days later I lost the hearing in my right.
In 2019, I was given the green light to install the cochlear implant on the left side only not the right side. I have never been successful on getting it turned on where you can talk to people and use the left side only. What I mean is, its a constant booming sound where I feel the implant from outside to inside of skull is booming. I been to several doctors and most told me that I'm a baby and need to suck it up and deal with the booming sound, which I get it. I tried to use noise canceling headphones on that part to lessen the booms. Best way to describe it, like having a heavy duty subwoofer going crazy with the bass, like a simple hello causes so much pain where I wanna crawl my skull open and ripe it out. So, I need advice on what I can do? Because I feel this was the worst investment I have done.
I'm also saying out loud sentences and words to figure out which sounds are too much.
I have the cochlear volume at level 6 with no sounds, just bass like a woomp, or a rrrrring sound only, I do apologize I'm trying my best to remember the sounds and describe them when I hear it.
They refused to do the right ear at the time because there was still hearing and didn't wanna mess with it.
If anyone can give advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time in reading this post.
