Tina Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi all, how will I know which is the most suitable implant for myself? Or will the surgeon decide that for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 16, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi @Tina This may vary from country to country and even from clinic to clinic in the same country. At New York Eye & Ear, we choose between the 3 cochlear implant brands approved in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdk Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 A lot will depend on your area and the experience of surgeon and audiologist. You will probably be fine with any of the main 3 brands. The surgeon will choose the actual electrode after you have made your choice. I think the major criterion is your support.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted September 17, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I had to decide on what I received - my clinic is a big one and my surgeon was experienced with all three brands so I was able to choose without worrying about that.
