    Bilateral

    I just was offered an opportunity to go bilateral!! :shock::shock::shock: it's part of some study of other company ( MEDEL ) even if I have Freedom in my implanted ear. Even in Greece these things happened..I've said I'd take that opportunity after I've studied it a bit. So do you...
