I had my first post-op audiogram on Tuesday since my surgery on July 1st. I knew my hearing was better in the right ear now, but it's hard on your own to quantify it. It turns out the surgery was highly successful. My hearing is now basically normal in that ear. I still have some loss at the very high frequencies, but overall it is much better (I had about a 30 decibel hearing loss prior to the surgery). Here's the audiogram. The dark black line is "normal" hearing, anything below the line represents subnormal hearing at the specified frequency. It was a hard decision whether to go through with surgery or not, but now I can easily say that I'm glad I did. I have truly bionic hearing now! (Titanium of all things)
