How do you like your new naida, what kind of hearing aids did you have before. I have done some research on the naida, I hear good from them.

Two very good models for profound hearing losses are phonak naida or oticon sumo. These really good hearing aids and they are digit.

It really is a personal choice but you need to take a couple of things into consideration. First where do you live, like I live in southern California and I would tell you not to go with Med El because they are barely beginning to implant Med El out here. Cochlear Americas has been FDA...

You are completely righ. I have been working with preschoolers that have bilateral implants the closer the implants are in time the better it is for the child.

In California, the state's medical insurance plan is now approving bilateral implants in children. And most insurance plans are covering bilateral implants. My son just received his second implant and we got approval in less than a month.

right on

You are 100% right CIs are not a cure for deafness, it is a tool to help hear sounds that person who is deaf cannot hear.

I feel that it is a parent's right to get a CI for their child or not get one. Parents just need to get all the information and make an informed decision. I have been told so many times here and else where that I did not have the right to implant my children that if my son or daughter wanted...

I am not sure how other parents of CI kids or adults with CI feel but CI has changed my children lives before a CI they couldn't hear now they can hear, they are still the same person being deaf but they can now hear when they have their CIs on.

Hi All, I wanted to let everyone know that my son recently had surgery for a 2nd implant. Surgery is now is under 90 minutes. When my son first woke up from surgery, he wanted something to drink. After he had water he was able to talk and said can I go home now that was 30 minutes after...

I think that is probable it. I worked in this field for over 15 years and have never heard of a case like this.

I know of people that have learned how to fail the test so they can become a cand. just a thought.

It depends on the ride. The ones that go too fast and upside down might be better to take off your implant. Once my son was on a bummper car rides and someone hit is car really hard his implant goes flying off and gets run over by another car. The implant was bent but still work well for...

Yes, activation and mapping happens at the same time. For a child your child's age he will have about 3 mapping sessions the first week you wait a month go back for another mapping session wait 3 months and then go back. Recovery is usually very easy. My 16 year old had his second implant...

You are so right their customer service is great. I have called in the morning that I need a part for my children's implant and the next day by noon I have the part at home.
