Sorry, had to laugh.

It's true! They say it's not for implantees but for Cochlear only. Too bad...

Hmmm......And people say that Deaf Culture is exclusionary!

Is that why Advanced Bionics does not have one?

They also have ALDACon - which from what I heard, has a lot more AB users there.

The next one is going to be in Nashville, Tenn.

Holy crap, I need to log in more often! It's been a long time since I've been back! I would love to go, but I would be terrified of going alone, being that I don't know anyone and have no one around here that'd be interested in going. Plus, being that it's March 7th already, I'd have to see if I can even find a place to stay, and how much tickets would be, and ask my ob if it's safe for me to fly, being that I am turning 15 wks pregnant on Tuesday. So, I'd be around 17.5 wks if I could go! Otherwise I'd just wait til the next one.

WHOO HOO we have our own celebration in UK, Last weekend of march loads of implantees (all brands) are spending weekend at Centre Parc to celebrate 20 years of paeditric cochlear implant (i think) I have 3 hours drive to look forward (not!!)

Can't wait for fun filled weekend...

Hope you have found a victim to bunk with you!!
