masona Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Dr Gray is very good, he did my perforated ear drum repair before they could do the cochlear implant because any water or infection can damaged the implant, you're in good hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilygirl630 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 My audiologist recommended I get one. I probably will, though I want to find something the is somewhat fashionable before I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted November 5, 2012 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I used a medic alert bracelet for a few years but recently went with aroad id bracelet as it is much easier to put on and take off is cheaper and you can store more medical information online.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted April 13, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 @Kylie I did order one after my first CI but haven't been wearing it. Everything I've learned says that the Synchrony implant just isn't a concern with MRIs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
