I dont think we are that way here. It is such a pleasure to hear that any

brand is great. Whatever works for you is what we want.

Phyllis,

That has been my impression over the past few months I've been on this list.

As has been said before, you can't go wrong with any of the 3 implant

brands. They're all designed to help you hear and that's what is most

important.

That's what CI Hear is all about. No one should imply that another person's

choice is wrong. We are all individuals and freedom of choice is our right.

The implants are modern day miracles that change lives for the better. The

right choice is the one that fits your particular needs the best. You can't go

wrong and most certainly are giving yourself a wonderful gift. I have left

other lists because of the partiality shown. That's really why CI Hear exists.

I could no longer stand what I was reading. That is also why the rules are

somewhat strict here and they are inforced.

and we all do our best to make them work for ourselves. I cant imagine what

someone else is hearing and I know they cant imagine what I am hearing. We

just do our best and work with what we have.

I love music, sounds of children laughing, just anything and everything that

I can hear. It sure makes life worth living again.

Alice,

I don't want to embarrass you but I think the success of a list (or lack

thereof) has to do with its moderator. I think you do a great job! I've been

on lists that have been riddled with spam and members who attack each other.

This is one of the few lists I'm on where none of the above is true.

anything about the Nucleus. We're here to make everything go as smoothly for

you as

possible.

I have to agree with on this: I appreciate

the way the people here post their experiences on

their brands without pushing that brand on

others. It helped me to make my decision: I'm

going with the Nucleus.

>>I'm going with the Nucleus.<<

Janet,

Congratulations on your decision!! It's one of the hardest to make. I don't

know about you, but I feel *very* relieved that this decision is behind me.

All the best to you in your CI journey!! <smile>

Hi Janet,

I understand how you feel. <smile> When I looked over the company brochures

back in June, I was set on one implant brand but changed my two months

later.

Now you can sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the journey! <smile>
