Congrats! Numbers were my first clear words also. I'm 4 months post activation and I can understand about half of what is said on TV without the CC. Hope you keep getting that great feeling as you progress with your new CI! JC

For me that situation where the HA was turned off was in noisy crowds. ;) JC

Did you ask every person who decided on the Nucleus if that was their reason? It may be YOUR reason but unless you have the actual facts don't speak for others. All three companies have had implants fail, so no one is immune to imperfection. JC

Interesting. How do you remove the surgically implanted parts (coil/magnet) from your head just before you enter the scanner? LOL!:lol: JC

Do you mean magnet? The receiver of the implant is not removed. If you need an MRI, the magnet on those implants that have "removable magnets" would be removed and then replaced with a new one after the MRI is done. JC

I have short hair and I couldn't care less if my HA and CI processor is visible. Heck, I love using the color caps and covers on my CI to show it off! = ) JC

This is old news. Those lawyers appear to be scrounging for clients to make money.

I wear an ID. Just says "Cochlear Implant - Can NOT have MRI". I'm not taking a chance, doctors and nurses are human and mistakes can happen. I got mine from American Medical ID. I actually have a couple styles, one for work, for play and for formal occasions. They have a great variety of...

I contacted the manufacturer of my CI which is Advanced Bionics. Based on what they know about the technology of these scanners, they don't anticipate problems however since no testing has been done it's not known/confirmed how the implant will be affected. They reccommended that I take the...
