Don Doherty Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I have a bilateral neurosensory hearing loss and was implanted on September 5th with a recently FDA approved Synchrony 2 implant. In my research on this implant I have learned it is primarily used for single sided deafness. It also helps with better comprehension of speech for those with one implant. I’ll be using the Sonnet 2 and Rondo 2 following activation on September 24th. I’m curious as to why I received an implant designed for single sided deafness and wonder if this will cause any future difficulties especially if I get a second cochlear implant in the future. Has anyone else had experience with the Synchrony 2 implant? Or read articles about its impact on bilateral profound hearing loss? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 12, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 The Synchrony 2 internal is just a version of the Synchrony internal implant that has a centered electrode feed. It works for cochlear implant users who are single sided deaf, unilateral CI or bilateral CI. There will be no difficulty if you decide to get a second CI. I have one internal Concert and one internal Synchrony, just due to the timing of my surgeries. They work great together. No problems at all.
