Exciting journey you and your daughter will take..
Nothing on Cochlear... Strange, since they have so many users... unless it's because there's nothing to tell... Or, perhaps just not good in
PR..
My daughter uses the Cochlear Freedom... and in a way... there's nothing to tell. It works as it should..
In the blog I have made for my daughter (
lotte-sofie.blogspot.com) I have written about her progress and experiences, and ours..
Not so much about the CI itself.. I do not compare them since once chosen, that's it.
We chose the Cochlear Freedom because in Norway the choice was between MedEl and Cochlear. AB was taken out due to the problems they had. And after looking into it, we choose the Cochlear basically because so many people use it and we thought it looked better than the MedEl.
We have had excellent support from them. We had some problems with rechargeable batteries and Cochlear gave us new ones, without problems.
In the end, that's what it's all about. The support you get from the company that will be such an important part in your life.
And I believe all of them are good at it.. I have a feeling actually that AB is better at it than Cochlear...
Anyway... Have a look around you. Find people that have CI. Having users with the same system as you have might be an advantage. You might get good support & advice from them...
As a last advice... keep a record of what's happening.. And start NOW...
I started our blog a bit late. I wish I started it earlier, because once "on the road" you forget how it was... A blog - or other way of storing experiences - is a great way to look back... Lotte's blog is like that. Anyone can read it, but in the end it's for us and Lotte....
Take care, and ask away...
