[QUOTE="HOH-ME, post: 2162465, member: 68549"] I don't want to sound stupid, but I am REALLY not up on most of what this is talking about :D. I am VERY open to suggestions and listening to why you like one over the other since I am seriously in the dark about most of this because I just haven't had the time to look into all of it and learn what all the numbers mean for the various settings,etc. I haven't picked one yet. I liked the sturdier feel of the Cochlear and that the magnet was removable. The clinic doesn't have any current patients with the Med El. Those are my "reasons" for liking it more so, PLEASE let me know what you think. I looked at the comparison chart and most of it doesn't mean much to me so I don't know what is better than the other. I did like the longer battery life on the Med El. I looked at the Rondo--THAT might be enough to sell me on the Med-El. I also like the looks of the remote on the Cochlear--little more Star Trekish :D. One thing about the Med-el the dr did say was because the electrodes were smaller, the chance of retaining my residual hearing was slightly better--so I did like that. [/QUOTE]
