Hello everyone,
I do qualify for CI, and seriously considering of getting one. However, I'm waiting for second opinion because I didn't quite feel comfortable with the CI audi that told me that I qualify without even starting the hearing tests. SO, I found another one, and she gave me loads of information, while the first one didn't give me anything.
ANyways, I'm curious what is the main difference between the Nucleus 24 Contour Advance and the Nucleus Freedom implant? I know Nucleus was the previous generation before Freedom implant, but through the books, I see that the Freedom has 22 electrodes, but the Nucleus 24 has 24. Doesn't make sense to me. When did Freedom implant come out? 2005?
Secondly, can those people who got Nucleus 24 upgrade their processor to Freedom? I assume if you have Freedom implant and Freedom processor, it works better than Nucleus 24 Contour Advance implant and Freedom processor.
I am just curious the differences.
After I finish the 2nd opinion, I'll keep you guys updated for those who helped me out with decisions.
