As I've just said in my response to Tori, I'm sure it's the actual risk level that's the problem here, it's the perceived one. I'm not sure I could really enjoy something even with the slight possibility that something might go wrong and my hearing would go kaput niggling at me. There was so much fear and stress around the process of getting the implant - especially because they botched the operation the first time - that I really, really have an aversion to going through it again.
But thanks for weighing in on this. If I do lose that reflexive fear anytime down the track, it might be worth trying out. :)
