opaque illustrative responsible

I always was hard of hearing. From birth i couldn’t hear out of one ear and wore a hearing aid in the other. It never bothered me or impacted my life as my hearing sounded “normal volume” as i dont know what better hearing is like. Suddenly this year back in February my good ear plummeted down to near 0. And was very quickly in March told that my only option is cochlear implant. Which I got end of April. My activation isn’t until early June, and I’m at complete 0 hearing. The deafness isn’t bad at all, what sucks is that since my hearing took such a plummet I got some heavy tinnitus which is very difficult day in day out. I’m told the cochlear implant will suppress if not completely erase it. Been a very hard half year, basically had my life flipped upside down.
