I may pick charcoal as my color when the trade up program starts in December. If I wanted to show off there is skins already available for the new model. The flesh color is now called sand for the new model. You also can have different colors for the coil and the cable as well.

This is a semi-implantable hearing aid caled the Med-EL Vibrant Soundbridge unlike the Otologics Fully Implantable Hearing aid based in Boulder Colorado. The orginal company was called Symphonix Devices in San Jose, California and they went out of business 2002 but brought out in March 2003 by...

Phi4Sius, There is a bit misunderstanding on what the IDR on the AB implant means. That is the input dynamic range that the microphone input circuits can handle. However the article is not talking about the IDR but the electrical output dynamic range in the cochlea which is 6-15dB in current...

The dry and store that uses warm air with desiccant works the best. Since using that machine keeps the moisture in vapor form which the desiccant will absorb the moisture. The Super Dri-Aid, white and blue beads, is my second choice but since the moisture drys inside the aid the switches can...

On My HD TV itself there is a setting of standard, full and wide available. When I use standard I notice some smaller 16:9 but not on the full or wide.

Some of the sounds that were surprising at turn on was all the shh sounds that happens when I was walking and it turn out to be the noise that my knees makes when rubbing in the inside of my jeans. I never even heard that before. The CI implant will start compressing the sounds when it becomes...

I have similar issue with my CI ear that will get tired at the end of the day after 13 hours of listening to co-workers on issues to be worked on, talking with people in South America and support personal in India. I just turn off my CI implant on the way home to give it a rest and from all the...

I agreed hearing turning on the water faucet or flushing was the loudest sounds I ever heard in my life at the time. Unscrewing the top of powered diary creamer was the highest pitch sounds that I ever heard and took a few months to get used to it. Persistent is the key. It was a bit strange at...

Yes all sounds samples are kind of misleading to a point. Manufactures like to push their technology as being the best. Advanced Bionics was my first choice as they where pushing that music sounds best with their technology. After a long talk with my surgeon we feel that the Cochlear Freedom...

Most of the Cochlear implants now have art "skins" available to add to the outside of the processor.

Cochlear has the option of a curved array which is normally standard for most cases. MEd-El uses different versions of straight arrays. Both have have Split Electrode Arrays available.

those stained hair cells are quite small! :shock:

WHat you have is a damped tone hook with a mechanical audio filter to damp the output peaks that usually occurs around 1kHz. Those filters can cause problems since they can easily get plugged up easy with oil and wax that might migrate to the tone hook. I usually remove them for good. I use a...

If you have plugged the output the best you can and it will feedback once it is on the ear it sounds like internal feedback. If that the case the aid will have to be send back to Phonak for repairs. I do not have that issue with my Supero. Internal feedback could be caused by leak in the...

I have heard that Cochlear has rolled out its Hybrid CI overseas as shown here. Cochlear? Hybrid? | Cochlear Southeast Asia

I see that Widex calls their transposition method the Audibility Extender in the brochure.

I went to a meeting last Saturday about the latest in transpositional aids. When AVR came out with their transpositional aid called Impact close to 15 years ago it was a straight transposition on top of the lower frequencies. Then there was a second version that prevented the transposition from...

There is a graph on the web site on hearing performance that is showing that at the initial user fit with the Nucleus 5 the CNC words test at 60dbA will get about 78% words correct. The freedom after 6 months of use the average user on the CNC words test at 70dbA 10dbA higher will get about 59%...

With that site it is a private label but the advantage of that web site is that they will add the programer and cables if you are technical knowledgeable with their "virtual office system" There is Lloyds Buy Behind the Ear BTE Hearing Aids Online with LloydHearingAid.com This is one...
