Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 --- Hi , Nucleus made by the Cochlear Americas group has more than one style of implant. So if a regular self curling array won't work, they have a double array that can be used. The Dr. will do MRIs and CT scans prior to surgery so he or she knows what the cochlea area looks like. Don't know if Modini is hereditary. A genetic counselor could probably help you with that. What implant center are you using? Welcome to . I think there is also a CI group for parents, and they might have the information you need about Modini and heredity. Alice, our list owner, can tell you about that. Hi Everyone My name is , my daughter Kendra is three months old, she has a profound hearing loss in both ears. We are in the process of getting approval for an implant. We are hoping to have her implanted at 7 months, pending insurance approval. Kendra has LVAS and a mild case of Mondini. Does anyone have similar cuases of hearing loss? Will the implant still work with her Mondini - I am so worried the implant will not go in all the way... ? Are these causes genetic? Do we need to worry about future children? Kendra is our first. This is all so new and scary. Any help/advice/support is appreciated. Thank you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
