One thing I do not like about the OPUS 2 processor if I understand it correctly that there is no buttons on it. With My N5 processor I have two buttons which I can turn on or off he processor, change programs and turn on the T-coil without having to depend on the remote in case that I forgot to...

Reminds me of the old line that the current GOP president candidates are saying that the corporations tax rate is too high. Makes me wonder if the official tax rate is lowered will it change anything?

I use the Hatis system for both my hearing aid and my CI. It has a bit stronger sound field than the Music Link. Personally I do not care for wires running down my neck. Phonak has a digital neck-loop that works for certain models to eliminate buzzing and allows true stereo channels from that...

I usually take off my hearing aid and implant when I am jogging, mowing the lawn and exercising. I learn how to work out in silent. When I was younger my hearing aid, Oticon at the time used to short out in sweat every two months in the summer.

I like Virgin myself and used to have Cricket. Virgin is great for someone that does not need the very latest in phone technology and just wanted a few voice minutes in addition to unlimited text, email and web browsing. I just wanted to same money with something that fits my needs. I have no...

That story just states IF AT&T failed to take over Tmobile AT&T will pay a fine to T mobile. So far I have not heard of this happening.

Another usefully thing to have is this tool kit for hearing aids and was available at my Walgreens store. Acu-Life Audio Kit Hearing Aid Cleaner | Walgreens

Most of the FM systems I had were very good and quite useful in work. The current FM system that I was evaluating has microphones on the receiver side that can be used to hear your peers. The Comfort Contego for example uses digital communication with a zoom microphone both in the transmitter...

I respect anyone decision determine what implant to use. Baseballboy is a long term CI user that has been implanted several times and his opinion is just as valid as mine.
