[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1162441, member: 746"] A friend lost 90% of his hearing overnight. He woke up having under 10% hearing in one ear and 5% in the other He eventually had a cochlear implant which has been upgraded twice. He can hear better, but music is a mess. He said that sound impressions from an implant differ from normal hearing. At first, he described the sound as "mechanical", "technical", or "synthetic". This perception changed over time and was no longer aware of this artificial sound quality after a few weeks of cochlear implant use. When we go to see him, he hands me a bluetooth microphone that I hang around my neck. He also has a device which sends TV and mobile phone sound to the implant The cost of this to date has been R 600k. Discovery Health paid about 70% of this [/QUOTE]
