ADAVRONBEK Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Need your advise guys: my son been implanted bimodal with MEDEL Concerto/opus2 at 3y old, now he is 3,6y old. Now are thinking to get second one, believing it will be stereo surround effect and helpful. But local AUDI said, that its useless to get second implant for kids development and hearing improvement !? AUDI insists that it will be no effect if we go for second after 6months since 1st implanted. Is it true?? Now confused. Even if we get a second implant, should it be the same implant type as first one ( both Concerto implant/opus2 or may be different?) ? Any feedback welcome thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted April 26, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 No - it should not; actually there is newer version: the Synchrony. It is not problem because it is newer. There are many people who got different generations of implants - bilateral implantation started more often recently (few years ago) when researches started to conclude positive effects of using 2 implants.
