DarlaHS Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 I was wondering if anyone might know where I could find to purchase Mellie the Elephant. Apparently this is only given to implant users age 12 and under. I am unable to see the reason for the age cutoff, we are special also. Thank you for answering.

Lauren Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Maybe eBay? I did a 30 second google search and got a few hits there. Can also call Med-El and ask (unless a rep told you about the age cutoff). I wasn’t aware there was an age criteria. I received one for my first implant surgery in 2021. I love my Mellie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Yeah, MedEl says they're only available via the pediatric kits. I did manage to get one asking the new Audiologist, who I guess arranged for MedEl to send me one out of the blues. Just gotta be persistent. I wouldn't go through eBay for it. Just ask around.

Enegra Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I don't know why in the US Med-El claims that Mellie is only for kids. I once asked Med-El on Twitter and they responded that Mellie is for everyone. That was two years ago, but a bit odd that it would be changed. My local rep sent me a Mellie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
