Members Tim Posted April 7, 2023 Members Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 @DianeH Welcome to the club! I'm about 9 weeks post-activation and am glad that I had it done! With the FDA approval for SSD a few years ago, there are a lot of us recent implantees going through the journey together. (Not sure if you are SSD or not.) This community is a great resource, so much information and people willing to help each other out. See you next month in the GoogleMeet!

DianeH Posted April 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Thank you Tim! What a helpful forum! Both ears are 95% loss. So hopefully my hearing aid will be synced well. I’m going to be patient and work hard. I ballroom dance so music is super important to me. See you soon. Mary Beth and Joan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted April 9, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 @DianeH Do you know your activation day? Which CI Center do you go to? I go to NYEE of Mount Sinai in NYC (5 hours away). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeH Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 OMG - so far! Why??? Is the CI Center for activation or surgery? I am confused. Tomorrow I go to West Hartford Surgery Center. I have an audiologist, Christine Huebner, that I will contact after surgery for activation date. I have only seen her once. She is in Hartford, CT Thanks so much!!!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted April 9, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 @DianeH At NYEE in NYC everything is under one roof. CI surgeons, CI audiologists, vestibular therapy if needed, etc. I chose NYEE as my CI center and have gone there for the entire qualifying, surgery, activation and subsequent appts.
