I'm talking about internal implant, well it have edges that may cause discomfort it doesnt matter if its thinner its still square and since it may not require any flushing to the skull, what will hold it in place? and you will still be able to feel the implant, its the square shape that turns me...

my comment, he's moron both side pissed me off the make up story about making kids deaf, and the anti-CI "truth" to the story theory pissed me off because CI does not makes kids hearing, its just tool to help strengthen their own good, self-esteem, to be strong person with all language...

no kokonut, if you have working auditory nerves but dead cochlea Normal CI is considered if it can be stimulate to send sound to auditory nerves. ABI is for severe case of malformed, missing cochlea, NF2 tumors, progressive loss even to the deafest possible point in hearing loss, its still can...

no no, kokonut and miss kat's mom ABI (brainstem implant) is NOT for progressive hearing loss, ABI is for people that cochlea is completely 100% dead/ completely blocked from ossification, destroyed, malformed, or absent of cochlea (the small snail shell shaped organ) but if your auditory nerves...

uh phi, what drawbacks? also did anyone listen to this, "genetic hearing loss it will die with new nerves being put in because its genetically programmed to be deaf its dead in the first place for REASON lie in the genes" could be certain part of hearing system is flawed from mutated in te...

no i'd pick ci over stem cell anytime anyday, its proved effective way to restore hearing in profoundly deaf people and its very safe with little risk and minimal surgery, when stem cell, many things could go wrong like what if only 500 nerves grew out of 100,000 and get crappy hearing, it can...

Originally Posted by SkullChick I hear better with CI than when I had moderate loss (50 across board) and aided up high that I can hear leaf rustling (less than 20 db) why? because I can hear speech more clearly and more pronounced/stand out in evirnoment, hear subtle tone difference, have...

thats because you looked at pdf file too late, when i looked at it it had much more pages including picture of processor, remote, and remote pic for bilateral. right now a lot of pages are missing hmph

I hear better with CI than when I had moderate loss (50 across board) and aided up high that I can hear leaf rustling (less than 20 db) why? because I can hear speech more clearly and more pronounced/stand out in evirnoment, hear subtle tone difference, have full high frequencies hearing. for...

i dont like the nucleus 5 system, the processor look weird with silver strip on back and the internal implant metal housing is square i have slight uncomfortable on the edges part of my implant, and its semicircle shape imagine with square housing ouch! I hope thats not what im getting when its...

you should really try oticon sumo analog or digital version, they're most powerful one on market if it doesnt do the trick, theres nothing else except ci

I take pamelor/nortriptyline (prescribed by surgeon) for implant pain (I have sensitive skin and I'm also migraine sufferer so that why I got it sometime) it work if you keep taking it daily before bed and only 1 downfall is if you missed 1 you'll wake up with migraine lol at least that's good...

PINKY!!!!!!!!!!! Where are you! :lol:

When I got activated the speech got so much clear but for female voice I hear really high pitch squeal after every word for example "can-ee you-ee hear-ee me-ee?" haha it went away after 2 months I think. It will sound VERY weird for you, probably will sound like beep to you for little bit...

So what? Leave him alone, he want it in dead ear, and if its better than his aided hearing, what's so bad about it? It'd be awesome and he still can use his residual hearing for some low frequency that ci might not cover, and he can hear in other frequencies as well so it won't become useless...

I was born with moderate loss (50 db) until age 17. The CI sound much better and clearer than hearing aid at moderate loss of 50 db. I didn't vote because there wasn't option that fit me (I can't lipread at all without CI, but I can't understand whole thing by just listening no visual cues so...

Most sound doesn't bother me only metallic sound makes me cringe little bit (metal hitting other metal) most heavy metal/loud music with guitar disortion yuck I just pop my ci coil off :lol: Pomperian (spelling?) dog's bark omg I hate it (I loved those dog when I'm not wearing ci, with it on...
