My implants are insured for 3 yrs which is great so if they break I can get a new one. Please look at everything there is about CIs and try not to be afraid. I was afraid too. But I wanted to hear badly as well. Good luck with your decision, and God Bless.

I thought it was a magnet. My husband thought it was just metal and the magnet was on the outside. The implant is so complex it's truly amazing!

I was curios is the implant itself just metal or does it have a magnet in it? I thought the outside processor has the magnet. My husband n I are having an argument over this one.

Feeling great!! Can't wait till Wed to get this turned on. I have mixed feelings about it though. I've been Deaf so long now that I hope I remember what things are suppose to sound like. I also use sign in my household as well. I don't want to lose that. See what I mean? But I want to hear.
Wow got to finally wash my hair n the bandage/sticky strips fell off. I must say, it looks pretty good!! I'm still a little swollen but I'm still icing too. I have you all to thank for getting me thru this. THANK YOU!!! I can hardly wait till next Wed when they turn it on!!!
Last night was a bad one my head was just throbbing !! Don't know why. I iced it some more n took some pain meds n finally got to sleep. This morning feeling much better.

I'm excited but Leary about it being so soon. I'm still swollen up n haven't even showered my head yet. They didn't tell me anything but to keep it dry.

Got email confirmation from the audiologist, they will turn me on to start my programming next week. The 9th of July, same day I see the Dr for my check up. That's fast!! 12 days from surgery.
