Cochlear is usually tight lip about minor changes to their programing. If they did made some improvements it will show up on their software revision used to program the CI. I can not verify this. What I have heard is that some people that do not like BEAM in the early stages of using the CI but...

I agree with you, do not sacrifice good hearing for better battery life. Another point with batteries is that batteries has to be constancy with each other otherwise you will only have the battery life of the weakest battery in the group. I am using 1200 on Ace and have one program that's 1800...

Yes the implant version 675P is high power and the package even said extra high power and the standard power is 675 without the P at the end. The web site you mention even have a trial package of all the cochlear batteries they sell. John

I am using Power One Implant Plus batteries since my insurance will in part pay for it under the durable medical equipment rider that I have with my insurance policy. The Power One Implant Plus is designed with work with those that with high power maps and the batteries and may not last as long...

I watch the show when it first aired in January and did not know they even had a colchlear implants at the time. I was trying to verify that information on different boards and I found this: Deafblind Triplet Daughters This seems to have a great deal of information on the triplets...

the only digital aid that MAY be stronger than Phonak is the SUMO but even then only in the deep bass. There is not much change going on with supper power aids as manufactures usually put the latest advances in the more moderate power aids. If you are going to use the smart link you may need to...

Gee a lot of arguments on why the first and only language can not be a native language. Statements like methods of language acquisition, home environment settings, easiest language is the native language. This all seems quite pointless and nonsense. The impression that I am getting here is...

First time I heard of a first, only language is not a native language.

I never heard of a deaf discount going out to the movies before

Another book that I have not seen mention in this thread is Deaf Again, by Mark Drolsbaugh.:type:

What I am hearing that Animal research is being done to test the new laser method of simulating the cochlear. The research is being done to check for long term effects of using small laser diodes on a wire to simulate the cochlear for possible new methods for the electrode array.

Do you have any manual controls on your TV like the menu to see if you can get to the caption setting page?

Like others were saying it was for a investigative product in early stage of trials not in production.

Amy Cohen Efron is saying that both programs are available to deaf and hearing babies but it turns out that baby signs are being used more for hearing babies and not for deaf babies which could benefit more from signs. The deaf baby gets cut off from interacting with the parents since there is...

I also noticed that the sound of “silent” when I take off my hearing aid and the CI processor off at night for bed is not as heavy or numbing like it was before. While wearing the CI implant I noticed alot more constant static like noises and I found out that they were noises from moving around...

I am am using a number 3 magnet but my audiologist will give me a number 4. It all depends on how thick your skin flap and the issue with the hair. As long you are not bruising the skin with too much magnetic force you should be okay. :fingersx:

Is that interesting. I am finding that a higher speed at 1200 cleaner that the 900 speed. In my clinic they usually start at 900.

I would think that you woudl be just fine TIG( tungsten inert gas) and welding are similar and should not casue a problem since they are low voltage but high current. Just wear good head protection to shield the processor and I would not see a problem. Thats my personal opinon and it is not a...

This coming Sunday will be my first month of activation. At first turn on everyone voices sound like a high pitch whisper. My first 4 programs were all volume maps. I am beginning to understand more of the voices on TV without captions. This is very good from someone that was prelingually...

Yes every show needs to be captioned and every business needs a wheelchair ramp unless they can prove that it is not possible. All movies theaters must have some form of captioning available and yes it is a reasonable accommodation and should be the law of the land. Otherwise majority will force...
