Muriel,

That is a wonderful anniversary! That's fantastic to know that your

internal implant is doing well for so long, and that you can keep up

with the processor upgrades. I'm in awe.

Muriel,

This is simply an amazing story and I congratulate you for being a pioneer for

the rest of us and enjoying 17 years of hearing. Even more exciting is that the

new 3G for the N22 is giving you more and more quality of sound. What a

testimony this is of the implant.

Thank you so much for being there at the beginning and taking the chance so that

today we can enjoy the benefit of your courage.

Oh wow, Muriel, what a wonderful post! Happy CI Anniversary to

you! I would like to add my thanks, to you, for being a brave

pioneer and going for the very first implant. Without people like

you, we wouldn't have the fine processors we have today. What a CI

journey you have had! I am so glad you are still experiencing

improvements over the years! Congratulations and continued success

to you!
