HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 28 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 28 Are you the type of CI user who is eager to try every new processor and upgrade every 5 years or as soon as you are eligible? Or are you the type of CI user who enjoys listening with the same processor as long as possible and upgrade only when necessary?

SKOM Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 Thanks for starting this Marybeth! I would love to try out the available new technology/ and upgrades to improve and enjoy life more! All the listed new features of Sonnet 3 are the very ones we were waiting for. Also of course waiting eagerly for Auracast to be available in general use. Any thoughts on how we can get insurance to cover the new Sonnet? I have been using Sonnet 2 Biilateral for 5 yrs. Rossy Robotina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOM Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 By the way, also what would be the cost of Sonnet 3 out of Pocket in the US and audio link XT ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 1 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 1 @SKOM In the US we must wait for regulatory approval before any Med-El US staff can answer questions, including price. Once Med-El US announces availability, we will be able to ask for a list of items included in the upgrade kit, price and how to move forward with insurance approval. I am eagerly awaiting regulatory approval. Rossy Robotina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted October 2 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 2 Well I don't know for myself in future, but I have had my sonnet 1 for 5.5 years and now the sonnet 3 is just being released - so the timing is perfect to look at that upgrade now, especially moving up 2 models 🙂 Rossy Robotina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 2 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 2 I have used my original processors for 9 years. By the time the Sonnet 3 is released in the US, it will be 10 years. I agree with @Kylie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOM Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Thank you so much for your reply and responses. I was not aware that US regulatory approval was not completed yet once the new processor has been released and announced Medel on 20th September I would’ve expected everything to have been completed and ready for sale and purchase, I too am waiting eagerly for the Price structure so we can decide. we are in Germany now and I did see my US audiologist a few weeks back. Do you know if the new device has been released and approved in Europe? I do not get straight answers from the Medel German and Austria. Offices. but of course, as I mentioned way back for some reason, all Medel products and parts/accessories are almost 2 to 2 1/2 times as expensive here in Europe. once I decide to get it through insurance, or otherwise, I will probably get it through the US site and have my audiologist remote. Download my programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 2 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 2 @SKOM Med-El mentioned counties with CE Mark approved. Availability & price vary by country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOM Posted Wednesday at 12:21 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:21 PM Thank you, Mary Beth actually I was just able to talk Medel customer service in the US and they tell me the processor has not yet been released in the US but has been available in Europe. I did reach out to the Europe offices but they just give me some emails to forward my inquiries to!! I guess we will just cool our heels and wait it out😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in my sixth year and actually have the application for upgrade on my computer, but am holding off to see what's released in the next generation. I'm actually still really happy with my processors, so am not in a hurry. Kylie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
