Which company did you pick for CI implant device? Device type? How did you decide? How satisfying the software upgrade on BTE for continuing progress on your hearing.
Michael, my doctor only implants the Cochlear brand for cochlear implants. He has used them for over 20 years so I really didn't have a choice. I have the BTE Freedoms and love them. Since I have the latest technology, I haven't had any upgrades yet. But I do have friends who have upgraded to newer processors and are very pleased with the results.
This blog is about my hearing loss and cochlear implant journey. I have worn hearings aids for most of my life and now have bilateral cochlear implants. The Divine Creator did give us two ears for a reason and I never dreamed that hearing sounds normally in STEREO would be possible in my lifetime. I am truly blessed to be married to the most wonderful Christian man, Steve, a proud mother to Jason, Chris, Brad, & Marissa, a mother-in-heart to Jessica, Caitlyn, & Jessica (yes, we have 2 Jessica's!), a "Meema" to Jackson, Cameron, Madelyn, Wyatt, Christian, Bennett, Ellie, Olivia, Oliver, & Hannah, honored to be a mentor, friend, & colleague to many, and humbled to be the daughter of the King.

Hi Laurie,

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. My doctor also recommended the same brand for me.
That is good to hear your great experience with this device.
Michael
Would you have other CI patients' blog that I can visit?
Thanks,
Michael
Michael,
Look to your right on my blog site and you will see links to other CI patients. You should also see links for helpful information as well.
You seem like a very smart person doing your homework! Good luck on your hearing journey!
