I will email you with more details, but simply put, while I made some effort to research and compare "brands", the weight of the decision making process was in the reputation of the surgeon and the clinic where I will have the surgery. Virtually everyone who had an opinion, who had a friend "who knows", who had personal experience, who asked their hearing professional on my behalf, or my audiologist who made the initial professional recommendation, universally said that this clinic is the best in the region.

I had surgery for a Med-El...Dear Pastor Partridge,<br /><br />I had surgery for a Med-El cochlear implant about a year and a half ago. I am doing quite well, overall, but there is definitely room for improvement. However, most of the improvement needs to come from the manufacturers. I am also a hearing researcher, and have written about my ideas for improvement in a paper that can be downloaded from the bioRxiv site, titled "An analysis of cochlear implant distortion from a user's perspective." While I express certain criticism, I am optimistic for the future. I am curious how you decided on Med-El, but I think it is a good choice. Feel free to write me at bdj@alum.mit.edu. Best of luck, Barry.Meshugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634528784964273654noreply@blogger.com
