Had an opportunity to try out setting #2 today (noisy/crowded room).

Attended my son's volleyball tournament in a large, noisy gym.  Could actually hear the person sitting next to me talking to my left ("bad") ear  :o  VERY nice!

I have also discovered that if you use the audio adapter it seems to use a lot of battery power.  So the battery that I started out with on Tuesday mid-morning only lasted until this afternoon, but IMO that's a small price to pay for the "concert in my head".  ;D

I am just loving this BP100  ;D

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

Jan,

I love reading your updates!  I'm still waiting on insurance approval (or, I suppose disapproval) for my baha surgery.  Reading all of your great comments give me something to look forward to.   :)

I'm glad the BP100 is everything you hoped it would be.

I certainly hope it's not disapproval  :'(

Cochlear has insurance advice on their website and you can also talk to their reps about insurance coverage if you need to.  Don't hesitate.  They love helping people and it's one of the things they are there for.

Good luck,

If they happen to turn me down, I will absolutely fight it.  Still, I'm trying to hope for the best the first time around.   ;D
