COVID-19 Survivor Shares Cochlear Implant Journey after After Sudden Single-Sided Deafness

Greek DailyNews shared this article with you from Inoreader

The American Cochlear Implant Alliance (ACI Alliance) has published the account of Michael Goldsmith, a COVID-19 survivor who was implanted with a cochlear implant after experiencing sudden single-sided deafness.

Michael, a married father of two living in New Jersey, contracted a severe case of COVID in the spring of 2020. He was hospitalized for 32 days, including time spent on a ventilator in a medically induced coma. After he woke from the coma in March and returned home, he realized he had lost his hearing in his left ear. Prior to his hospitalization, he had not been aware of having hearing loss. After months of research and appointments with specialists, Michael received a cochlear implant at NYU Langone Health in September 2020—six months after his release from the hospital. Several months post-surgery, his results with the cochlear implant have been characterized by his medical
team as "remarkable pr ogress."

Less than six months from his cochlear implant surgery, Michael has adapted to his "new normal" with his cochlear implant and is back to working at his full time job in IT, back to listening to music with headphones, and back to interacting with his family and friends in a way remarkably similar to what he was able to do before.​
