MaryGP Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 So, I'm getting my implant in 3 days. My fur babies, Niko and Simon are flame point Siamese. They are active, vocal, funny and see anything smaller than a glass of wine as a toy. I understand I will be coming home with serious paraphernalia. I think I may take an extension cord and place it inside a drawer for all the electronics. Does anyone have any suggestions? Just as a point of reference - I tried a CROS hearing aid before deciding to go with the implant. My FIRST day - yes not even 24 hours into it - Simon (the smaller one), decided it was worth eating and had it in pieces in seconds. Thankfully that was actually covered under the warranty (who would have guessed that?) . But I have no desire to repeat that drama. Don't let the sweet peaceful pic fool you - The Siamese playful nature will takeover - little devils!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted December 3, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Definitely keep everything out of cat reach! Easier said than done! Rondo 2 will have an charging pad and the processor just rests on top. Very enticing to cats! Possibly plug that in a room you can close off at night. Sonnet 2 will have both a rechargeable battery charger (blinking lights) and a dry kit (light). You may want to keep those in a room you can close off at night too. Everything else can go in drawers or a closet. I love the Artone neckloop do always have two of those charging up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick H Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 @Mary Beth good advice on that one Mary Beth, one week after activation my Cat used my Rondo as a cat toy at night! I woke up having to search it down only to find out didn’t charge up before she found it! I was deaf for half a day that day!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted December 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 @Rick H My cat would do the same thing. Way too tempting for cats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted December 7, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I'm lucky, neither of our current cats is interested in my CI stuff at all. Though Spike did once eat a hearing aid - he was younger then. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
