The wait is long. I used my time to send away for packages from Cochlear America, Med-El & Advanced Bioincs, join their forums (and this one). At the evaluation they want you to decide which brand you want either right then or within a few days. Now I am only six weeks away from surgery. Yay.
You say your appointment is at Riley. Is your doctor Dr Miyamoto?

I don't live in Indianapolis now. I did call to ENT in my hometown. I used to live in Indy for 2 years in 1998 to 2000 I know who is Dr. Miyamoto. I got got loan a hearing aid at Riley. When I was 18 years old. He offered me to get CI. I used to be against CI because I was in deaf school. I changed my mind. I want to get CI. I need to find doctor's number if you have it. Please PM me. That's good idea to make a choice for CI brand I want. That's cool! I didn't like my old audiologist picked a wrong brand of hearing aids for my style. I am glad that I can pick a brand of CI over HA. I have to get one implant for now. I can get second next few years later. I don't want to get both in same time. Because of tinnitus you know. You can PM me.
