My implant was activated three years ago and my word comprehension went from18% to 98%. It was that dramatic. I highly recommend that you contact Davis Family Hearing and get tested to see if you qualify for an implant. It will change your life.

Categorically untrue. I said already up-thread - my hearing loss manifests primarily in word differentiation problems. Meaning, I can hear you talking. But if you're not facing me, AND you enunciate, AND I can read your lips at the same time, I might not be able to tell what it is you're saying. You'll sound, to me, like you're mumbling even if you're not.
Hearing aids fixed that. I no longer have to ask anyone to repeat themselves unless they have a very thick foreign accent, or are actually mumbling and not facing me.
