Hello, my wife got a cochlear implant probably close to 20 years ago. A lot of times if it's in a long time she will develop headaches specifically on that side. A lot of times I let her nap/sleep with it out etc...ive googled and they act as if this isnt common. Do you guys find this to happen to you? Thanks

I ordered a Snugfit loop for my Nucleus 8 because I want to wear my ears on a rollercoaster and heard that they can stay on with these things. But im confused if I got the right packaging. I put it on my ear, but it’s not looking the same as the instructions. Does anyone know anything about this??

AFAIU AB claims the Marvel can be connected to, say, the computer to listen to music/stream a movie/..., and at the same time to the phone to e.g. notify you of incoming calls.
But that's not possible for me, once the Marvel is connected to one device the second simply can't connect.

Did anyone succeed in doing that with their Marvel?

Concealing Whether that’s with your hairstyle or the color/coil covers you pick or do you prefer picking the more obvious covers and wearing your hair so it’s visible?

I’m being asked to pick the color of my device and I’m not sure what would be a better choice…something darker brown or black that blends with my hair…they even have coil covers made to look like hair (?!?) or picking something more obvious with the intention of wearing it visibly so people are more mindful of facing me?

I’m just curious what everyone’s personal preference is and why?

My son got his cochlear at 1 year old and he is almost 4. In that time, we’ve managed to lose 1 entire processor and are down to 1 battery.

We have 1 processor, 1 waterproof processor, and 1 battery.

We spoke with his audiologist and she said that if she orders replacements through cochlear for us, that’s the only thing they will cover for his entire lifetime of the cochlear.

What is another way we can get replacement pieces and not have to pay hundreds of dollars?

Long time CI user here, had CI before bluetooth or waterproof were a thing, and it’s really nice to have those improvements. What other things could they add?

Anything AI? Maybe auto translate?

I love subtitles and excited for VR/AR to have subtitles for daily life

Hi all, I was activated with a Cochlear Nucleus 8 CI last Friday - I have had severe-profound sensorineural hearing loss since birth and at 41 my hearing aids said ‘I don’t like speech anymore’ so I took the plunge. May get my left ear done if all goes well…

Anyway, I have a bullet journal/diary and was wondering if anyone on here had any cool spread ideas for how they track their listening progress/gains with their CI? 🙏🏻

I got the call from my doctor, who said that after 8 months of going back and forth with the insurance company, the authorization to get a second implant has been approved, and I have a few days to decide whether or not to move forward with getting a second cochlear implant. I was implanted in 2001 on the right side while wearing hearing aids on the left side. However, the quality was vastly different between the two devices, so I stopped wearing hearing aids.

To all the posts here, it sounds like even after 10+ years of inactivity in the left ear, it would still be worth implanting it but will have to give myself time and space to let the ear learn & adapt. Is that right?

The crazy part is while the potential surgery date is early august, I am expecting my first child end of october so its going to be quite a busy next few months to adjust, then get ready for the baby.
