If I told you where I worked, then you would take anything I say as the opinion of where I work. What I say is my opinion and no-one elses. Therefore, where I work I will not disclose and frankly doesn't matter. People can take what I say for what its worth. It is an opinion that was...

I am one of those people that also needs to eat and have a place to live. I think that is why I work for money. For the rest of it, you take some pretty big leaps of what you seem to think you know about me. First, you have no clue what I do or don't do from a philanthropic perspective so...

HINT - Hearing In Noise Test It is basically used to test your ability to discriminate a sound that you want to hear (e.g. speech from a single person) from background noise. Here is a link to a test that will give you an idea what the HINT testing will be like. This is not a real test...

Ding. Ding. Ding. There is profit in everything sold. Do you work for free?? If you do then you can talk to me about my ethics of getting paid for what I do. If you don't work for free, why not? C1

I would disagree if you read my posts. Like this comment. "I believe all three (I will leave out Nueralec) are very similiar in actual patient performance at this point in time." If I was selling you something I would have said 2 of them are total crap and only Brand Y is worth a damn...

Well, I would have suspected that you could tell with the amount of details and reguatory information that I have talked about, as well as the general market place for hearing, that I know it from a much different perspective. C1.

I am confused about what you think my profit motives are and what unbaised information I have given. Do you believe I have advocated for one company or product over another? You quote when I said that a person should not take a decision to be implanted lightly as unbiased? In fact, I would...

The term supply house is typically used to describe retailers. I am not retailer of anything. Yes. I am involved in the hearing industry, and if you cannot tell who I work for then I have achieved my goal of trying to provide as unbaised of information as I can about the function of these...

Supply house? Are you implying that I am a retailer of these products? C1

I think your overall question is much harder to answer than specific technical questions. I think Fl885 answered it pretty well. It is a personal to decide to make the move to be implanted and the decision shouldn't be taken lightly. Make well informed decisions, go with a product and...

Hearing aids are limited in power (amplification) based upon how much air can be moved. The smaller they are the more difficult it is move air. If you look at how sound is "spec'ed", it is in SPL for Sound Pressure Level. The HA must move enough air to create pressure. This is why concerts...

Hearing aids (in the USA) are considered Class 2a medical devices. These are "low-medium risk" devices. The implants (CI and MEI) are Class 3 medical devices (high risk which is the same as a pacemaker). The high risk comes from requiring surgery. The approval path for a Class 2a and a Class...

Keep in mind that you probably wont feel any difference in your body between the sampling rates. What you would notice, if it were to high, is voltage (amplitude). The electrical signal has two components, frequency and amplitude. Frequency is how often and amplitude is how much. To again...

The "firing" rate, as you put it, does have a technical reason to be as fast as possible. It is analogous to what is more commonly known as “sampling rate”. To explain in more of a real life term, think of different sound reproduction devices. 44kHz sampling rate = CD quality 22KHz...

No. I do not have an implant. I believe all three (I will leave out Nueralec) are very similiar in actual patient performance at this point in time. I watch what is happening in hearing market and am speculating that the next major "advancement" in CI technology is a few years off. During...

It is very clear what answer you are looking for even though you say you want unbaised opinions. When someone says they like brand X you say they are unqualified, wrong, etc and when someone say they like brand Y you they are able to state facts. If you believe that any of the brands...

Chill out. I have never talked to you on any forum. I simply answered many of your questions in the order that you posted. However, when you make accusations of essentially bribery and violation of US Federal Law, those are serious. I highly suggest if you have proof of any violation of US...

You seem to have a lot of information about future products and operation of this implant. Where do you get this information? C1

1) Claiming people are getting free goods and jobs for "advertising" is a serious charge. Do you have proof this occured or just an opinion? Who was offered a job in return for their testimonial? 2) Software is part of an implant. You only get what that company offers just as you get...
