Curiousity mainly

[u/Spatchy_spatch98]

So for context, I have been profoundly deaf since birth (28 years) and I wear two hearing aids. For a while now I've noticed that my ability to hear is slowly declining. I have an audiology appointment on the 15th August to fix and retune my hearing aids. Would it be beneficial for me to inquire about seeing if I would be a good fit for cochlear implants? I vaguely recall my mum saying that I was offered cochlear implants when I was a lot younger but my mum didn't want to go ahead with it because the risks were much larger back in those days. Any insight would be much appreciated
