MacawsDeaf, how do you like it? Do you notice a difference from what you had before?

congrats. I agree with the weight but i got used to it within a few hours easy. I think its just the size that make it "seem heavier" than the BTE version.

IMO, it sounds better than the BTE but not that much better.

I had my Advanced Bionics-Harmony since Aug/07. Still high regards for the implant.
Hope you get a long satisfactory service as well.

Implanted AB Harmony activated Aug/07

Whoa, you went from s-series straight to Harmony? Skipped the BTE?

AB had another BTE before the Harmony came out, I think that's what bbaseballboy is referring to. There was the Auria before the Harmony, and I believe another BTE before the Auria, the Clarion I think.

1st BTE, Clarion. 2nd BTE, Auria. 3rd (and current) BTE, Harmony.
