RE: Two NEW and Very Different CI's from Med-El Europe

[Guest guest]

Bob,

And of course you know, where would we be without the FDA? I wonder

too. (grins) Remote controlled CI's, what next? That is one feature I

would like as I used one with my last set of hearing aids.

but then you will need a base to find the remote like we have with

cordless phones that always seem to go missing.........

Happy Hearing!

*When or will these new devices become available in America? Not a

clue. But I'm gonna try to find out - as expected..*

As a recent Med-El recipient, when I received my start up kit my audie

informed me that enclosed was a voucher so I can receive the newer

version sometime next year. At my last remapping she mentioned that

there will be a remote, 2 processors instead of one, and also more

features that will enable the user better phone use capability. I'm

excited.

LOL, Carol! Maybe it comes with a string for around the neck? Not sure on

that.. <G>

Bob and ,

Remotes are nice. I have one with my hearing aids, but I still want those

buttons available. What about when the remote isn't handy or you lose it?

Lynn,

That is why we will make sure Cochlear does not make that mistake. LOL

I saw a sign at a gas station. It said 'help wanted'. There was another sign

below it that said 'self service'. So I hired myself. Then I made myself the

boss. I gave myself a raise. I paid myself. Then I quit.

I totally agree with you, Lynn. IMHO, Med-El would have been wise in copy of

the leading example in remotes in hearing aids from Phonak, the originator

of the idea in the first place, I believe.

In all of their BTE aids with either the WatchPilot or Sound Pilot remote

feature, the manual controls remain available, for when Fido mistakes the

remote for a Milk-Bone! <G>

In the ITE styles, however, the buttons are available as an option. (and a

wise one!)

Med-El does need to bring the buttons back as a backup for the US market,

once again, IMHO.

Hi,

Just getting caught up with e-mail from over the weekend.

My phonac aids had a remote and I hated it. That said, I know it can be

a great help and I would probably even prefer it with my Freedom. By the way,

the remote for the hearing aids DO come with a string to wear around your

neck! (smiles)
