On Thursday, December 9th, I will be going to have surgery.
Nothing major, it is Baha is a surgically implantable system for treatment of hearing loss that works through direct bone conduction.
The Baha consists of three parts: a titanium implant, an external abutment, and a sound processor. The system works by enhancing natural bone transmission as a pathway for sound to travel to the inner ear, bypassing the external auditory canal and middle ear. The titanium implant is placed during a short surgical procedure and over time naturally integrates with the skull bone. For hearing, the sound processor transmits sound vibrations through the external abutment to the titanium implant. The vibrating implant sets up vibrations within the skull and inner ear that finally stimulate the nerve fibers of the inner ear, allowing hearing.
I will first go to see Roger Waters, The Wall concert (Pink Floyd) on Wednesday then stay the night at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, Ca. Early, Thursday morning at 5:30 am, I will check-in and by 6 am the procedure will begin. Finally I will be able to hear better.
My Grandmother's birthday is on Wednesday and she turns 85 years old.
She is in better shape than I am.
Well, I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday shopping season.
Till next time.
