I have the 3G right now and I love the fact that I can change the battery

covers to match my clothing (most of the time). Then I got a HA and noticed

that

after a while the ear mold yets to be a yucky, earwax color. On a lark, I

orderd a blue HA so after a while I decided to get a blue ear mold. I like the

fact that people will see it without me having to explain every time that I

have a hearing loss. So now that I will be getting a Freedom, I ordered the

blue one so that both ears are the same. Brown head coil to match my hair.

When

I am up for a new ear mold for the HA, I think I may try a blue swirl!

Ilana, HI good to meet you also.

I had my CI surgery Feb 24, 2006, Activated March 27, 2006. I have Nucleus,

I'm at 750 speak. Which is the best for me, we have tried many different

setting but I always come back to this one.

I was deaf for 43 years no HA they wouldn't help. I fell off a school bus

when I was 12 and 3 days later I was completely deaf. I speak well and red

lips well. And now I also hear so I'm doing pretty good. I do not make out

all the sounds that I hear, I know it will take time. I have been able to make

out words a couple of times but mostly I lip read, and with what I'm hearing

and what I lip read I would say I get 95% of everything now.

My hair is black, with hints of grey now, Ilana. I also chose the

silver processor, figuring that I would " grow into it " :-). I have the

grey cords/cables as well.

Being male, I never went through a fashion conscious stage as regards

hearing aids being seen or not seen. I had worn the BTE ones for many,

many years, because they were power aids and as such, were better for

me than the ITE ones. I did start out with the ITE ones in 1978, but

not the completely in the canal ones.

Patsy, nice to meet you. When did you receive your CI? Do you have AB or

Nucleus? I know you can change the battery cover of the ESPrit 3G from Cochlear.

Me too... but use blue battery cover and blue super seals. I have

pics posted here, which i guess you cannot see if you are deaf/blind.

my earmolds are blue and white swirls. the super seal makes my ugly

beige Hearing Aid blue

Hi DJ,

Is the picture on the website?

I was unable to find any BTE colours of the Freedom either on their website

(unless I was looking in the wrong place) or their information package book.

My favourite colour is blue, so I was hoping to see the picture of it.

Dolly,

I believe the Freedom is available in black, silver, beige, brown, pink,

green and yellow. If all of those colors aren't available now, they may be

at a later date (or so I heard on another forum). I agree with you about the

blue color, but it's too late for me! I already selected black to match my

3G.

P.S. I never responded to your post about nicknames. I like all 3! <smile>

Is it just the battery section or is the whole processor available in

colors to match the battery covers on the freedom, (regular size one)

DJ,

I believe the entire processor is colored although I'm not sure about the

battery compartment.

Thank you DJ. I enjoyed looking at your pictures. I really got the kick out of

the " Glow in the Dark " HA and ear mold, lol.

Now I know what the blue colour look like.
