Hello everyone,
My name is Michael and I am a 20 year old proud CI user. I was diagnosed with profound deafness at the age of two after a battle with spinal meningitis. When I was four, I became the first child in the state of Georgia to be implanted with a cochlear implant. Shortly after being on the news, I spoke before the Congress at the age of 5, and proved the success of the Cochlear Implant and how well it worked for children. Lately, I have been using the ESPrit 3G, but I have returned to wearing the Spectra. I have had trouble understanding people with my 3G, so I tried on my old Spectra and I was completely shocked by the difference, that the Spectra was working better. I called my audiologist to tell her about the news and she said this was very common. We discussed the Freedom, and well, it looks like I am getting the Freedom once they have resolved the compatibility issue for the Nucleus 22 users
Has anyone gone from the 3G or the Spectra to the Freedom?
