Implanted AgeOlder AdultHearing LossSlowly ProgressiveImplantedBothStarted loosing my hearing in late 30's and was fitted with hearings aids in 1995. I was a customer service agent spending 8 hours a day on phone and struggling until I retired in 2005. Still struggled with phone and noisy situations and could not hear all of what the minister said at church. I was implanted in the left ear in September of 2013 and my hearing got so much better I had the right ear implanted in April of 2015.
