I’m moving forward with my cochlear implant. I had my evaluation and I am a candidate. I still need to have a CT scan but that is the last step before surgery. The surgeon at MEE would not make a recommendation as to brand. I’ve been doing research and talking to reps from Advanced Bionics and Cochlear Americas. Naturally I like different aspects of both brands. I think I’ve moved beyond research into confusion.
There are so many knowledgeable CI users on this forum. Could you share which factor (or two) settled you on one brand over the other? I realize it is a personal decision but any guidance/thoughts would be appreciated.
