jadepedro Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi again. This weekend we removed all the suture points. I was willing to upload some images to let everybody see how do they look, but I'm not able to see how to attach images as the image tool asks for a url. In the other hand, everything is fine. Absolutely no pain. Skin inflamation where the magnet receptor is placed has lowered but skin still feel somehow "bumpy". I can easily track with my fingers where the inner part it is located but Diego shows no pain when touched. Is this a permanent condition? I guess that in a child skull is easier to locate. BTW: Wish all hearpeers merry christmas and new year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Javier, excellent news However, it is still early - skin has to be fully relaxed without oedema at all but, you'll be able to palpate the implant. It will never vanish completely. Regarding your first question, it is not possible to paste a photo within your post than you have to publish it at some online website for storing photos and then copy here the link so people can see it by reading the link in a new window of the browser.

jadepedro Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Activated! First impressions are really good. Diego first comment was "Oh, I hear really loud now". We needed to change the magnet from 3 to 2 as his skin quickly become irritated. Processor adjustment took a few rounds of programming and testing but nothing really complicated. After that he seems to be extremely happy with his BB. A good sympthom is that he now listen to TV at a much lower level than before. We still need to experiment on noisy environments. We returned home by train and when we walked beside the engine he asked me why the train engine sounded so loud now. We will keep informing about our findings. Best regards to all. bigguns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Javier, everything is just ok - yes, Diego has different perception just like I did. To me, everything was a bit louder on a distance than I expected. I didn't have perception that something what is not so close can be loud - it is a sound dissipation. Yay! Excellent news - keep informing us about Diego's progress. There will be more surprises for him - can he locates sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadepedro Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ok, it has been a month since activation and this is the update: Diego is getting used to the new way of hearing and seems to be able to distinguish better even in noisy enviroments, but still soon to say if he will need or not fm at school. He is learning to pay attention to the teacher and not to his noisy mates. When wearing BTE, the fm help him to concentrate and this is a new situation for him. Inflamation in the implant zone has lowered a lot. I'm still able to locate the implant but now it seems reasonable. No pain when we touch the zone. We have had to lower the magnet to number 1, because even with number two, his skin seemed irritated by the end of day. It also makes easier to drop the sambas, but I've attached them to shirt clip so no danger on dropping them to the floor. We also tried number 1 with activity clip, but seems to irritate the skin, so we will wait till his skin matures. We (and he) are really happy with the change with the only "but" that samba processors seems to be more exposed to "accidents" than BTE (an important matter for childrens) due to location. Batteries seem to last even more than the BTE ones. More than a full week. Best regards to all bigguns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
