Anthony Canada Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Hi there! I'm Anthony. I was just implanted on June 28th and my activation is in about two weeks. I'm hoping to find more Med-El recipients in my area to share in person experiences with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph34 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 By the way @Anthony Canada when you say “ in my area” that pretty much includes the whole planet on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Canada Posted July 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 @Ralph34 its good to see another Canadian for sure! While I'm happy to make connections online I provided my city and said 'in my area' because, for me, nothing beats in person communication.

Ralph34 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 @Anthony Canada You are exactly right. In person is best. Oddly enough, the only folks I know with implants are the ones on this forum. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted July 8, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Hi guys! Welcome @Ralph34, I’m one of our members from ON. We do have a few implantees here in ON. Not all here on the forum. Anthony Canada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph34 Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hi @Kara of Canada. Yup. Sunnybrook alone is doing about 200 a year but I have never encountered any of them. The blend in colours of processors must be better than I thought. Are you going to join us this month on the Google Meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Canada Posted July 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hi! @Kara of Canada & @Gerda Is there another resource for connecting to implant users from the other companies? Dianna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Mo Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 From Toronto and got it done at Sunnybrook. Activated last year April. I'm happy to answer any questions. I love my Rondo3. Mary Beth, Anthony Canada and Dianna 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted July 9, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Yes Sunnybrook is amazing. I had both my surgeries there. Great staff. I have met about three or four from there. Not sure about the google meet. I’ll have to look at the date and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the Cochlear site. They did have a “Cochlear family“. Not sure if it’s a group. But they do offer mentoring.

Alberta is a new area for Med-El so they don't have the established local community that Cochlear and AB have. Perhaps my newest comes with a naivety but I feel like CI users no matter which implant provider they selected have a common base. I'll check out their website.
