There is actually a small percentage of people who GAIN hearing from this procedure. The doctor did not even mention this to me, he didn't want to get my hopes up. He and I know that this is for the vertigo, but we both know sometimes it helps the hearing. So we both have our fingers crossed behind our backs. I'm a very knowledgeable person about my disease, I've been studying it for many years and we have discussed this particular surgery for at least five years.
I do have faith in Dr. Kim....but not in my own body's ability to heal. I reminded him that whatever problems COULD go wrong, that is what happens to me. He gets this funny crooked smile and shook his head no......he is a handsome young Korean man and reminds me very much of my former Korean boss (who is much older, but who I worked for when he was this guys age) and so he has always given me a feeling of coming "home." But both of Dr. Kim's parents had Meniere's disease so he devoted his life to curing this illness.

Not being dizzy will keep you lots safer. Plus- you don't need to hear or speak to talk to us. We can be good company.
Take care hun
