Hi Clarice,
Lots of luck.  I know it will go smoothly.  Did you decide which processor you are getting?

Dale .....

I'm getting the Oticon Ponto Pro. Seemed like the best choice after researching both. Also Dr. Friedman's preference.

Thanks for the update, Jay  ;D

Just wanted to mention that Carolyn (heyct) had a BAHA implant on 5/9/11.

It probably didn't get on the AN Calendar and therefore didn't make your list.

Jan
Retrosig 5/31/07 Drs. Battista & Kazan (Hinsdale, Illinois)
Left AN 3.0 cm (1.5 cm @ diagnosis 6 wks prior) SSD. BAHA implant 3/4/08 (Dr. Battista) Divino 6/4/08  BP100 4/2010 BAHA 5 8/2015

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