Which company implant: Advanced Bionics- Harmony Atria
Telephone use: NO-can hear the dial tone but not anyone speaking. I understand from Sunnybrook Cochlear Implant section: most people that they have deal with-can't either. Not a surprise. Just continue using my UltraTec 1140-TTY/Text phone. Access the Relay Service- here in Ontario 711. My phone company-Bell Canada- has TeleMessage service ( tape) which the Relay service can access on my behalf. Just give all the numbers. Had this since 1996.
The telephone had no bearing on the process of getting an Implant. I don't recall anyone asking me about phones. Mentioned I had/used a TTY phone.
