The Harmony Debuts on Advanvced Bionics Website

Ignore the link in the first post...

Thanks to Bob for head up again!

It happened today: A totally NEW website for Advanced Bionics, under the
Boston Scientific banner, as expected.

It's ALL NEW and exciting and now formally introduces the NEW HARMONY
processor!

Here's the link now: http://www.bionicear.com

Have a look for yourself!

I suggest watching this video "Journey to Sound" at http://www.bionicear.com/consumer/informational_videos.cfm?langid=1 (at bottom)

This half hour video describes what to expect at your initial cochlear implant programming session, and includes sample programming sessions and comments from adults, parents and children.

Wow, I get to find out next Monday if I'm a candidate!! :hyper: :hyper:[/QUOTE]


Good luck!!! I get to find out next Friday if I'm a candidate!!! I hope for both of us that we're both a candidate!

If I'm indeed a candidate, I'm also going to be faced with being torn w/ the decision as to which CI brand is best for me. That's sooo hard!!! Ekkkk!!!

Maybe you & I can discuss in depth about each of them and stuff, since we're both going thru the same thing right now. :]

Once again, GOOD LUCK!!!!! I'll be thinking of you Monday and be rootin' for you!!!

Hey Boult, I hope you don't mind my asking, you have CI, right? [I think I read that you do, correct me if I'm wrong] If so- what kind of CI did you get?

Sorry for being a bit off topic.
Thanks!

Obviously.... I have Advanced Bionics because I started this thread :D

Currently I have Auria HiResolution BTE and will plan to go Bilateral (2nd implant for my left ear) and get those new Harmony BTEs

I'm not sure, but if I get a 2nd CI done on my other ear, I might go for Advanced Bionics this time. I've heard of a few people having Freedom in one ear and AB in the other, so I know it can be done.

This may be a dumb question - but if one has a certain brand in one ear and a different one in another ear - wouldn't you be hearing things differently in each ear? If so, wouldn't that be kinda confusing and maybe annoying? I've worn 2 hearing aids all my life until a few yrs ago and still remember how I always loved hearing things evenly out of both ears at the same time.

I don't know. I remember reading somebody's online journal and she had Freedom in one ear and AB in the other ear. So I guess it would work. I dunno. I'd discuss it with my audiologist.

So, when you go in for your 2nd CI - you'll have one Auria HiResolution in one ear & the Harmony in the other ear ? Or will they remove the Auria and also give you the Harmony in the already-implanted ear?

What is the differences between the HiResolution & the Harmony? I suppose I could go to the site & try to find info myself but I'm literally soooo tired of reading sooooooooo much & trying to remember all these stuff I've learned! I'm taking a break! :P

No, I think Boult would upgrade to the Harmony on the already implanted ear, no need to re-implant that ear, and go bilateral in the other ear with Harmony as well. Hope that is more clearer for you. :)

Great, now I feel like an idiot. :P I should have checked the date of the post, oh well! :P

Sorry 'bout that, everyone, for the confusion! :]

btw- thx for correcting me, Boult!
