Almost 6 months later and everything is smooth.Earlier we had some problems with pain(headaches) due to the magnet causing some pressure on the head between the skin and the processor.Finally changed it with a not so powerful magnet and now he is more comfortable. @BleedingPurist We didn't try...

Its been 3 days since the activation and everything going great. First hours passed and he got used to it.Voices got from cartoonish to more human.He understand most of the sounds words etc.He can hear things that he remember when he was 5. In 10 day will go again to raise the volume to the...

5 days later and my brother he is in good condition.Walking and can do light work.Also continues to take antibiotics.The only side effect of that is diarrhea.In 2 days we will go for cleaning the stitches back of the ear. The wave like sound is gone.The weird is that he can hear little bit from...

Yes.Only the rondo.If this ci is successful, in a few months will proceed for the right side.All expenses are covered so I don't think they will cover us for a back up pair.I will ask and if the money is in our spectrum we will consider it. Doctor said he will activate the rondo in about 15 days.

Thank you for your personals expiriances. @BleedingPurist We had the medel- Rondo

Surgery finished few hours ago.Looks like a successful operation. He did the left side today.He is only complaining for a sound coming from that ear ,a wave like sound.Doctor said is normal.Anyone had this after the operation?

Arrived today.I was very excited when i tried on myself.Even with my fingers in the ears i could hear loud and clear.So i guessed they should work on my brother.He tried them tonight and he didn't see any benefits.With out his hearing aids couldn't hear anything.When he had HA on he could hear...

I order it already.It is for my brother.He is severe to profound deafness.I will let you konw if he can actually see any benefits. I just hope to receive them before the CI surgery (20of march) of this month so he can try them.

Anyone tried these ?Are they really worth anything? I am considering to order one just for testing.Looks very interesting. http://www.everydayhearing.com/hearing-aids/articles/bone-conduction-headphones-work-with-hearing-aids/

My brother will have a CI surgery in 19 of march.This is the third time they change our date. We are always wondering how CI sounds.I have read alot on the forum here from other CI owners and i can only imagine.I asked our doctors if they can provide us with a sound sample for the CI and they...

They sure help a lot.If he wear it at least he can hear me calling him so he can turn on my direction and it helps a lot decipher what we are saying.If the voice is from a man and deep enough, he can hear it.Also the car horns, tv noises/voices but can't really understand what is said.His...

And two disadvantages, if we do only one ear and is successful, we will need to proceed with the surgery for a second time and also i don't know if they would accept to fund it.

The process is ready.We did all the exams ,blood,mri,x-ray etc.They already gave us a date for the surgery for both ears.At 05/03/2015. My concern is not if we proceed or not but if is better to do one ear instead of both.Here is what i'm thinking : If we do only one and my brother is not...

Iam asking this myself too,but from the history i know, teachers when he was young tent to believe he had intellectual disabilities.Also we believe his hearing problem was progressive and probably had a mild hearing loss which was unnoticed by the family.Also he is very capable to understand...
