Hi A Nihilist and Tousi, Thanks for your replies. I braved asking them today and they said we didn't need to give them back. So that was good news.

Hi All, My daughter has recently been implanted so her hearing aids are no good for her anymore. We'd like to get her some accessories like the swimming kit etc for her Ci's, but it's quite expensive so we thought we might try and sell her aids to fund some of it. They're only 6 months old...

Hi @Condor1970, How did your daughters surgery go? Did you get any answers from the professionals in the end? We're also looking at getting implants for our daughter now, i have exactly the same doubts and fears about damaging her inner ear. Maybe it's mainly just me who is kind of 'mourning'...

Hey Bottesini :) Hmm, we'll probably know in the next year or so what our near future might look like. Then we could indeed make a pertinent choice as regards what language to learn. So you don't think it might be a little hard for her to get into LSFB with no real french foundation...

Hi All, We're the parents of a soon to be three year old here in Belgium with severe to profound hearing loss. She's been making really good progress in spoken Norwegian and English (our two maternal languages which we speak at home) and she also gets some small exposure to French as her...

Ok yes I agree. The integrated ones looked cool actually. Not to big. We'll apply to the fund and see where we get to. I was wondering if it was something like that with the UP. Maybe next time. Thanks very much for all your replies. Have a good Sunday!

Hey NaidaUP, Thanks for your reply. They're sp's, forgot to mention. What's the difference between sp and up? Hmmm, sounds like the telecoil will be less and less used over time as proper digital signals increase. I think we'll ask for the integrated fm. Good idea. Probably with time there...

Dear all, Seeing as how this thread is from 2011. Do any of you have any altered opinions from new technology? Still anti FM? Or did it get better? Some good points for a 'big person' trying to help a small one here... I have a two year old now and am just going through the same...

Dear all, Thanks very much for your responses @Bottesini, that was interesting to know. She seems to get on well with her new silicone ones. With the new aids (q90's) we perceive there to be almost no feedback. When she hugs us or has a large jacket on etc. Which is great. @NaidaUp She...

Hi NaidaUp, Thanks for your reply. We managed to get Phonak to take back the Nios 3's my daughter had been trailing for 13 months! We were lucky they did. Our Audi was unsure for all that time, then we went to see another centre and they instantly recommended the SkyQ90's. We got them last...

Hi Bottesini and DoctorStarkidPotter, Yes it seems like the higher you go up the 'q' scale, 30,50,70,90 etc, the more software additions you get, I had a read of the additional features and they seemed quite good in theory, like the speech in wind one as you mention and the auto stereo zoom...

Hi Bottesini, Thanks for your quick reply. Sounds like a good idea, do you think she will notice a big difference from the Nios S III's if we get her the q90's? For sure they are already more powerful but we're hoping the sound will be better in diverse environments. She doesn't use her Roger...

Dear All, I'm the father of a 2 year old who has had hearing aids for just over a year now. She's made great progress with the Nios S H2o III's that she's had, but just now we've been told she needs some more powerful aids. The old centre where we've been going since she was diagnosed...
