I might be wrong. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I have bilateral CI. both are N24C. Usually for the most part it would be the same system as the original CI with a few exceptions that I can think of. if one had the N22 in one and went bilateral today that person now would get the N24C in the other ear. Another example I can think of is if the person had the N24 in one ear (that is the straight array) and was to be implanted today , he/she would get the N24C. I hope that make sense to you wendy.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 HI I received my N22 in 1996.At the time that I was going to be sequentially implanted the N24 was then being implanted.My surgeon would not implant the N24 because it had a straight electrode array like my N22.I would have had to have a large # of electrodes deactivated with it like i did with my N22.The N24C with the self-curling electrode array was about to be approved by the FDA so my surgeon wanted to wait for that.I am glad we waited as only 4 electrodes compared to 12 with my n22 were deactivated.
