Jaxon's processor

[Guest guest]

Hi,

You asked if you should get 2 BWP, 2 BTE, or 1 of each. Since Jaxon has

the Clarion and I have heard that the BTE is exactly the same as the BWP in

terms of how it runs the programs, I would say get 2 BTE if you think your child

can handle it's small size. If not then one of each so that when he gets a

little older he will appreciate the small size of the BTE.

When people ask this about the Nucleus processor, I always say get one of

each because the BTE is a different processor than the BWP and I say more

options are better.

FWIW, I preferred CIS and running as fast as possible and the BTE could not

deliver that...glad I had one of each, because there was an obvious difference

in the quality of sound.

I also would tend to agree with Lee about the harness, but lots of parents seem

to think the BTE is better since there are no long cables to deal with.

I would also definitely make sure your homeowner's policy covered loss or get

supplemental coverage to cover replacement.

Same here, not sure how some got lucky to get two, it could be insurance, I

don't know.

That's great , if your insurance will pay for it. But not all of us

have the ability to get two. I will only be able to get one and I am

getting the BTE as I have always worn two BTE HA's and don't want to fuss

with a cord.
