Hello, everyone!!! Just found this site this morning. I had met with the reps from Cochlear yesterday in my Doctors office. She asked if I was involved with the ANA at all. I told her I had been to the website, but wasn't aware of any groups in Colorado. I decided to check out the website again today and saw this message board. What a fantastic resource.
Just a bit about myself. I'm 47 and had a Acoustic Neuroma removed on my right side in Sept. of 2003. Surgery of course left me deaf in the right ear, but also had some facial paralysis too.
I recieved my BAHA implant in Feb. of 2005 and got the compact processor May of 2005. I'm am now upgrading to the Devino (new digital processor) I can't wait to get mine after trying it in the office yesterday. I noticed a big difference right away. The best way I can describe the difference is that I just heard more, and better sound quality. I'll keep you posted to other improvements that I notice when I get it and start wearing it full time.
A big thanks ahead of time for all the support and infromation that is found here.
