It was on the news a couple days ago. It's currently being trialled. Only 12 deaf people in the world had it now. Recently a young lady in Sydney has just gotten it.

Interesting, a bit like Cochlear Implant but only for people with mild to severe hearing loss.

Why would someone consider mild to severe hearing losses as deaf people? :dunno:

I asked my CI doctor if I could have this other one from Symphonix but he said I had too much of a hearing loss for that. Severe-Profound.

I thought that this had been around for a few years,(I"ve seen it reviewed in SHH sites and other sites like Listen-Up!)
and was only for a tiny specific population of hoh people.

Lots of people with severe hearing losses consider themselves deaf. I've actually noticed that many people use deaf and hard of hearing as synonyms.
 
I don't like that idea of that hearing aid device of implant. The reason I say that a such waste to do. While person have trouble with hearing loss and get those, person can be no benefit that will need re-implant as cochlear implant. I think that waste..
 
As I see it, its a benefit for those who suffer mild to severe hearing losses. So I fully support this. If it does help people gain better use of their hearing and does not restrict them in anyway, what is the harm?!

Yeah, I saw it on the news, too...about that lady up in Sydney -- cool stuff. It's VERY similar to a cochlear Implant, really.

I'd rather wait until the research and successful usage of re-growing cili hair comes around THEN I'll have THAT done to my un-implanted ear. :D
 
Well i think that wasteful and still waste. About un-implant. is that possible?
