Someone may have already answered this question, but do all implant centers

perform a prom stim test?

Jerome,

Some people find it just a bit uncomfortable, while others find it

more painful. According to my sister, she said it felt like a small

pinch and that was it; small price to pay if it will help tell if

the nerveis working soone can be implanted.

Nope, in my case nope. They are only needed when you are total deaf.

However I was told by Med-El office here that there are cases when people

fail in Promontory Stimulation test and yet the cochlear implant works

wonder after the implantation.

Jerome,

That's what I thought I remember reading but wasn't sure. Glad this is

something I won't have to worry about. I can be quite a baby when it comes

to pain. <smile>

I also asked that to Med-El office, they told me, you have very good low

frequency hearing, so that means your auditory nerves are good. You don't

need the test.
