wow, it's amazing to read these replies from Jules, bbaseballboy123, Deaffy, hohtopics, Mudkipz, overthepond, krazykatkitty, Lissa! I have had mine switched on 3 weeks back and it's amazing so far, seeing that I have so much to look for in the future, keep the good things coming :)

I was told that the longer wire that come with Cochlear (the one you called the lossless wire) is for TV, we need to connect this cable with the little one that is called direct connect cable (you posted pic of it), I'm not sure about this as my good TV broke and I'm using an older one like 10...

Well Chris, I have no comment on sunnybrook I'm late deafened, 35 going 36 years old now and lost my hearing over 10 years back, 90db both ears so your gf is somehow my range, but her audiogram for sure is different, I'm not sure how she was not getting results from HA it could happen as her...

adam, good luck tomorrow,please update us, I found a blog here for meddle user An exciting life with deaf ears, pretty nice :)

I have not watch the videos you have posted but I was picturing myself walking around in streets with these huge headsets, yes it's funny watching people looking at me like an idiot, on other note, some of these headsets are great as you said for gaming, I don't play games like you, how old are...

LOL bbaseballboy123 about the loser comment, haha, you so funny Thanks John

I think there are 2 people here who mentioned having their CI at sunnybrook, you should here from them for sure. It's very nice of you that you are doing some research for your girlfriend, I think Canada have some certain regulations for CI candidates, I'm not in Canada, I leave this to Dr...

John, you seem that you have experience in the headphones, I never used them with HA as they would whistle, now I have the CI I want to try one, which one do you think I should start with?, I checked Sennheiser web site, here a link, this headset looks nice, it can be folded, wireless and can...

I use the remote a lot, I'm 16 days post activation so I'm still new, I love the idea of the remote as I play with the sensitivity which is for background noise, I reduce it or increase depend on the situation, like for example to understand speech more in noisy situation I noticed that when I...

bbaseballboy123, great to know that you are doing good, tmic in AB is just like what Cochlear has on top of the processor, there is NOTHING SPECIAL about it, just the location, I spoke with top people in this industry and they explained to me both AB and Cochlear microphones are same, however AB...

You still swollen, I had a hard time sticking the CI magnetic that came with it on the activation 2 weeks post my surgery and they had to use a stronger one and now almost a month post surgery it's getting better, so I guess you need to wait :)

Best luck Adam, it seems that MedEl has a remote control like Cochlear, you will love the remote :)

LOL, my cat is driving me crazy now, even though I was hearing pretty good with my HA prior my implant but boy his meows are very high pitched and he is enjoying the meowing these days

LOL PTcallaghan, best luck for the activation and beyond How do medEl looks like, never saw one :)

Which Oticon are you using?

I have used oticon for 10 years before getting CI over 3 weeks back, changed models over 5-6 times, latest one was agile? with streamer and loved them, I'm not allowed to use my HA in the other ear now as my audi wants me to train the CI one for a while, I've tried Phonak for like a week but did...

LOL overthepond

LOL bbaseballboy123, you always advise this ptcallaghan: welcome to our world :)

I forgot to add that during the last 10 years I wore the best, most expensive hearing aid money could buy and I was doing great and was able to use the phone, but still I could not understand speech much without lip reading and not to forget the whole thing affected my social life, so yes you...

Hi dada2cole You have gotten some responses from people who are either hard of hearing or deaf and their responses are based on their own personal experience, feel and so on, you SHOULD NOT base your son life based on these facts, you should not listen to us, heard of hearing (hoh)/deaf...
