I wear a Phonak SuperFront aid in my left ear. There is a heat wave right now and I use the dry and store ohterwise the battery will get wet and rusty in a few days.

There are two versions of the cable one at $130 and the other at $180. The one at $180 has surge protection filter for AC power equipment so that a malfunction of the equipment will not pass AC voltage to the CI processor. The cheaper version does not have the filter and intended for battery...

What is a resonable success rate for you is?

I have not experience shocks when first turn on but there was an increase of loudness and then just settle in for a minute, but if you have having a shock for a minute and does not decrease in time. I would tell my audiologist about it. It may be a map issue.

Is there data cap limit to the plan?

It is electro magnetic radiation operating at about 5 Mhz to transmit to the internal implant coil. The frequency is far lower than being used for cell phones which operate at about 3.2Ghz or radio broadcasts.

This is quite noisy video and it is spoken in the native language of the user. It seems that they are using something like two syllable words not like one syllable words like coat, boat, goat for example. I do not know if the user is using any residual hearing during the test. The early...

They stated that there is electrodes on the short array but have not hear about the number. They say that the short and thin array will help to preserve residual hearing but since they are using the ear canal as the path to implant the device I wonder what is going to happen with the ear drum...

This is from a company called MST in South Korea. They are implanting these in India. It involves a simpler surgical approach and a short insertion electrode. It is hard to say how well it works for the user. I do not believe it has FDA approval for use in US.

Sounds like you got a good deal

You then have to make informed choice. Each manufacture has its own advantages otherwise there is no point in having a choice of different makes.

Nothing wrong with pushing the envelope and being you own advocate which in turn, goes a long way in getting good results. Good luck

Same here I was for AB since the marketing pitch was saying better for music than the other brands. I listen to music and go to concerts quite a bit. The reason I switch back to Cochlear was the better chance for a full insertion for the array since my cochlea was not full size. Now, I do not...

Generally you want the C levels to be as comfortable loud as possible. You really do not want any sounds to be uncomfortable loud since it can defeat the purpose of having more dynamic range and there is a limit on how much electric current that the nerve can handle. I can control the dynamic...

The 54's are the most waterproof model of Rion. Even so I would not use them for swimming but for outdoor sports or outside jobs expose to the weather. The most powerful Rion are the 79's which I had a pair and it is what I would call sweat proof.

No, you can not switch the make of the external processor with a different manufacture since the technology used are quite different. You can upgrade the processor to work with the older internal model.

I just received mine last week and so far it has been wonderful. I can hear a bit better with other people in the car driving without looking. Much better with music and more smoother in the high frequencies. One of the new features that is currently available by using the remote is zoom. Zoom...

Actually the Navy is doing this research on NAC (N-ACETYL CYSTEINE) "Animal studies suggest that NAC may help prevent noise-induced hearing loss. [25] A clinical trial to determine efficacy in preventing noise-induced sensorineural hearing loss in humans is currently (2006) being jointly...

Yes the disposable batteries are not expensive. The rechargeable batteries are.

Gee, the cost of the batteries and the changer is high.
