I did that too...jumped into the pool with my HA on. That was the first and hopefully the last time I "heard" that sound. HA were all corroded inside and thus not repairable.

Cloggy,

I agree with you, hearing while swimming is not a game changer. It is an advantage over other implant companies but not the remarkable life changer as professed by the CI company.

Could that waterproof CI be worn while skiing? That would be great.

The answer to both questions is... yes.

This is a big issue for me too, I love a good swim and then a soak in the hot tub at the pool or a day at the beach and don't do these things as much being deaf. I'm getting a CI soon and am very happy about AB's Neptune, will definitely be choosing that.

Deafness is not a valid excuse here...

Cheetah is correct. Though I became bilateral DEAF since December 20, 2006 and do have an Implant-I do go swimming almost 7 days a week. I would NOT consider AB Neptune. I understand one must disconnect after swimming to dry out. To me being able to hear music while swimming is meaningless.

There was no change in swimming since 5 years ago.

I have received info from Advanced Bionics re: Neptune and duly advised them of the above- no comment from them. Still pleased with my Harmony.

That would be a very foolish idea to water-ski with CI on. Beside - skier uses hand gestures, not talking. How can skier talks to those in boat with all these noise? and why would he be talking? lol

Late deaf? I am the only psychic here.

You should make an introduction thread.
