Hello,

I'm new to this place...

I'm confused by the models of the technology you all are talking about. Are there more than one places? By that I mean like Advanced Bionics - if you know what I mean. : |

Of course we know what you mean.

Are you an Advanced Bionics salesperson?

If you are wondering about Cochlear Implants-there are 3 major companies: Advanced Bionics,Cochlear Corp and Med El.

There's 3 different manufacturers for Cochlear Implants (well 4, but 1 isn't as well known?), and many various hearing aid manufacturers, if this is what you're referring to. Many different types and models of hearing aids.

Neurelec is the 4th, based in France Neurelec - Cochlear implant

Neurelec was mentioned at the Cochlear Implant patients meeting last week at Sunnybrook/Toronto. However they haven't used Neurelec implants. Apparently not approved here in Canada-yet. Why-no idea.

as far as I know, Neurelec is used in the UK/Europe area. I came across a blog, so there's at least 2 ladies in the UK area with Neurelec. I don't think US uses Neurelec.

Neuralac is used in the UK, but still very unheard of. Most CI centres use AB, Cochlear or Med-El
