Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Hi , I'm excited to hear that your son is ready to pursue a CI. Smart guy! A CI will enhance his ability to live as full a life as he can as he grows up. It sounds like you've had some good experiences with the Advanced Bionics (Clarion) people you've talked to. That personal contact helps you know more what to expect. Be sure to check out all three major implant companies for information before making a final decision because a CI will be a life changing event for Blake. All have websites and can refer you to other CI parents who can add to what you've learned so far. These will give you some additional starting points to thinking about what's important to you. Here are websites: Advanced Bionics Corp. Clarion CI www.bionicear.com Cochlear Corp. Nucleus CI www.cochlear com Med El Corp. Med El CI www.medel.com Be sure to keep in touch with us on any questions you may have. I wish you the best in the exciting journey you're beginning.
