I don't like the idea that the battery is surgically changed every 4 yrs....
That concerned me, as well. I would really hate to see this implanted in a young adult. Look at all the surgeries they would face over a lifetime. And all just so people couldn't see their HA.
Frankly, if someone is that concerned about their HA being visable, they would do better to take the money they would spend on this implant and put it into some therapy.
Yes, I have a feeling that only high end insurances will cover this. Most insurances don't even cover hearing aids, or even fully cover CIs or MAPPings etc.
And i don't get it...Why hide the fact that you're hoh? I LIKE it when people notice my hearing aids. It tells them I am hoh.
. yeah, but as Jillo said, the implant is targeted towards the type of people who think " OH NOES! Wearing a hearing aid means I'm OLD. Hearing aids are UGLY!" :roll:I would imagine some were bullied so badly as kids because of it that someone would be so willing to go through with it to hide it
You know, I will never understand the type of people who opt for invisable aids over BTEs. It's not like a BTE is one of those 1930's body worn aids or an ear horn.
And I love (sarcasm) how they're all " you can swim and all that sort of stuff"
So? That is part of being hoh......Why the heck would you want to hear all the time?
Seriously, I think this is going to receive some interest,but then sink like a stone.
your RIC does look cool
I wish I knew about them before I bought my new black Siemens BTE -
now I have to wait another 5 years for these!
