There is actually a small percentage of people who GAIN hearing from this procedure. The doctor did not even mention this to me, he didn't want to get my hopes up. He and I know that this is for the vertigo, but we both know sometimes it helps the hearing. So we both have our fingers crossed behind our backs. I'm a very knowledgeable person about my disease, I've been studying it for many years and we have discussed this particular surgery for at least five years.
I do have faith in Dr. Kim....but not in my own body's ability to heal. I reminded him that whatever problems COULD go wrong, that is what happens to me. He gets this funny crooked smile and shook his head no......he is a handsome young Korean man and reminds me very much of my former Korean boss (who is much older, but who I worked for when he was this guys age) and so he has always given me a feeling of coming "home." But both of Dr. Kim's parents had Meniere's disease so he devoted his life to curing this illness.
