Other Aussies with Med-El willing to share their experiences? @Matt @Kylie @JessDunn @Kim @Paintergal Who am I missing? I have had a terrific experience with Fiona Stanley hospital in Perth. All covered under public health. And they only use Medel as far as I know. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Jessdunn1 Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 @Tutz67 My daughter has them and we use Perth Childrens Hospital for our audiology. We have had a very good outcome for her, few little minor issues but I think that all cochlear products are probably the same, they do their job (help you to hear) very very well. The support we receive from PCH is amazing. @JessDunn ( I forgot my password and locked myself out of my account.....oppps hahaha) Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutz67 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks for all your input, I am going ahead on 4 October - I am deaf on the left - the Audiologist & Med El spec has recommended the Sonnet and Rondo 2 - so, fingers crossed! I am in South Oz, it seems to be more Cochlear than Med El and AB used here. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutz67 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Thanks Daniel - Surgery went really well. Dr Chawla is exceptional - I feel very fortunate to have been directed to him. Healing has been pretty good - a couple of dizzy days but that seems to have passed. I get activated on Monday and hopefully that goes as good as the surgery.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 18, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 That is terrific @Tutz67! Which processors are you getting on Monday? Soon the fun begins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted October 19, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yes, @Tutz67, best of luck with your activation! It's a cool experience, followed by months more of cool! @Daniel the Stranger, congratulations on the house! We just bought one too but it's not our first. We're knee-deep in paint and cedar plank siding these days. Daniel the Stranger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutz67 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I am getting the Sonnet and the Rondo 2. I am curious as to how the sound will differ between them both, and also how/if they operate with Bluetooth - but I guess that is one of the many questions that will be answered next week - I have a 2 hr appointment Monday and 2 hr appointment Tuesday. Feeling excited and apprehensive at the same time. Mary Beth and Kylie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 19, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 @Tutz67 I remember that combination of feelings very well. Smile. Just remember that activation is only your starting line. I only heard static and beeps. Now I hear everything. It is an incredible journey!

Tutz67 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Well I am pleased to say the activation is going great! The Audi, Louse at Attune Mt Barker, seems pretty pleased with the progress - I've had two mappings and I have started the online rehab, really pleased to say I can understand words, well most of them anyway! Still have lots of odd and unusual noises but I worked out that if I turn the volume down a little, it is a little clearer. I had a bit of a problem with excessive nasal fluid and blood nose, Doc suggests that's the tubes clearing out after the op. Seems to be pretty good now. Overall I seem to be adjusting quite well, a little confusing sorting out the bedside table with all the accessories - drying box, rechargeable batteries etc.... have managed to work out the Bluetooth/ computer link cords etc. So exciting and rewarding! Thanks to you all for your help, advice and support. Cheers Lorna Mary Beth, Daniel the Stranger and Kim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 24, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 That is terrific Lorna! @Tutz67 I spread out all those things that need to be plugged in at night between rooms. We do have a lot of stuff! Enjoy your journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
