A talking BAHA - kind of surreal.

I wonder if Cochlear knows about this.  In this day and age this could potentially be a problem, IMO.

I'm glad you're getting used to your BP100 Lisa and I'll be interested to see what your audiologist says about interference.

You don't mention any more headaches.  Does that mean they have lessened or (hopefully) disappeared?

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

I haven't had a headache since Saturday. The BAHA seems to work better sometimes than others. I am discouraged, abut I am NOT giving up. I'm sure things will be better in a few weeks.

Lisa -

glad to hear you're not giving up.

BAHAs - like lots of other things - take time to get used to.  Plus I'd imagine the BP100 has lots more bells and whistles than my Divino does - so just getting used to all the different settings will take time.

Hang in there  ;D
