Phyllis Ann Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Good Evening: I am scheduled for the Sunchrony2 implant the end of August. I have not met with anyone who has received and can advise me what I can expect after surgery. Any information? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 12, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi @Phyllis BERGANT and welcome to HearPeers!

Justsayin Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi, I had the Synchrony2 with a Flex28 electrodeimplanted at Henry Ford hospital in Detroit on March 31, 2021 and was activated May 4th. The plastic “cup” over my right ear that was required for the first 24 hours was itchy and aggravating but pain was minimal. I was given 4 pain pills when I left the hospital. I took 1 before bed that night and 1 at bedtime the second night in case I rolled over on my right ear. I started recognizing speech the first night after activation. I have essential tremors so I chose the Rondo3 for it’s simplicity. With masks, glasses and my old hearing aid my ear was getting too crowded. I used Angel Sounds and Heroes for about six weeks. Now I just leave my left hearing aid off and use TV and daily conversation for practice. The speech recognition in my right ear has gone from 23% before implantation to 73% after my second mapping. My implant has the new Vector magnet and I have not had any retention issues. I’m sure you will not regret your choice.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 12, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Both of my CI surgeries were very easy to recover from. I did not take any prescription pain meds, just Tylenol for the first couple of days. I slept in a recliner the first nights and then slept with my head elevated for a few more nights. I had restrictions for sneezing, nose blowing and lifting. Very easy recoveries. I hope you are as fortunate. Eric in Tulsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 12, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 @Eric in Tulsa I was perplexed by that as well so I looked up ways to prevent sneezing online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 For me, sneezing really wasn’t that bad nor blowing nose post surgery. I wouldn’t advise blowing as hard as possible but otherwise it was a slight annoyance. Flex24 (or 26? I can’t remember offhand but I’m sure it’s in my history on here) Synchrony 2 here implanted 5/27/21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianna Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 How did you know to select synchrony2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
