Wire rims will definately be better than the old ones. Lilly does not wear glasses, but she does wear sunglasses. We have had a difficult time getting the earpeice and the arm of the sunglasses over her ear. With wire rims, they usually have more narrow arms, so they should be smaller. It may still be a challege, but the new glasses could only help.
When dealing with the small ears, and the CI earpeice, everything is a challenge. But you know how important the CI is, so you make do, get VERY creative, and eventually figure it out.
The dressing on Lillys head following the surgery is a cup bandage. It is a band that goes around her head, and velcros. The dr used this so Lilly will be able to use her existing CI. The normal gauze bandage would not allow the other side CI to be used because the coil would be blocked. So they used this, the problem is that the strap falls behind her ear, this prevents the earpeice from staying on her ear. I ended up safety pinning the earpeice to the strap to stop it from falling off. It looks weird, but screw it. Look at the new avatar to also see the other accessory to the strap. You have to give me am minute, I need to upload the latest pics.
