Hi. I am Ken Attenberger and I have two med el implants. One I have had almost nine years, the second for 3 years but was recently reimplanted because over half of the electrodes slid out of the cochlea. I absolutely love my implants as they have been life changing for me. I am no longer useless in crowds and can even hear pretty well in restaurants. I watch tv now without wireless headphones, hear on a regular phone and cell phone, and I listen to music again. I do have a question for bi-lateral users. I have an alarm clock to wake me with a vibrating disc under my pillow. That works great. Is there any kind of alert for smoke detectors or tornado warnings. It is only a problem at night when I sleep.

Nice to meet you! I use an alarmm that vibrates on my wrist. I've used the under the pillow shake awakes but it would sometimes slide out with my turning.  I wasn't crazy about that so went with the wrist.

Harriss communications has MANY alerting options for the deaf. I would check out their website.

glad to hear you are enjoying your new hearing.

Yep, if you are looking for something hearing loss related, I can pretty much bet that you will find it there. You can also have a catalogue sent to you if you would like. Prices are not bad either
