Hey anyone have an AIM so I can talk to someone who is a CI user else ASAP? I'm kinda concerned about one thing and i need to talk to someone privately! Thanks.. My im is bellafarfalla155

Hi guys, I do plan to keep a seperate journal for my auditory experiences. 10 days left to activation- about time that it is going fast and faster! :-) Were you guys allowed to bring your close loved ones in the room for the activation? Just wondering and I'm curious to hear their reactions...

R2D2, I have about 12 days left til the big day! :-(

Everyone, Thanks for the welcome- I tried sleeping on the implanted side and it was better than the opposite side i slept on! It was bit of pressure but it wasn't bad. I finally got my sleep that I needed badly :-) I wish the activation day is closer now! The suspense is killing me! :-D

Hear Again, I will definitely let you know what going on with the activation thing in several days from now :) Catherine

Hi Soars, I havent been activated yet- the big day is on 7th-8th of December which i am pretty excited. The Cochlear Implant team (my audiologist) have given me a list of therapists and so far they havent been available- I have tried calling them and emailing them. I even tried the provider...

Hi guys! I've been lurking for few weeks now and your forum have been extremely helpful in my recovery process since October 31st which was my surgery. Recovery has been somewhat diffcult for me but I'm allright now. I just have some questions here but first let me tell you a bit about myself...
