Survival need not mean a happy life either. My brother had one before he could speak - at 1 year old. It was removed, but he has been suffering from epileptic seizures ever since.

Sorry to hear that :( In my case I only lost hearing from one side due to nerve damage, it also impacted balance in those early years but interestingly enough that improved a lot just by using the other inner ear.
