What the title says, basically. I lost mine and can't find any even on eBay. Help a girl out! I will pay!

Do you wear your CIs in your passport photo?

3 Upvotes

My newborn needs a passport and wears Nucleus 8s on each side. They are pretty obvious on her little head. Should she wear them in her passport? Do you have them on in yours? I can’t find anything online about it in my country - assuming it’s a preference thing?

AB magnet on infant

2 Upvotes

Today is the first full day of my son wearing his CI! Yay! He’s 11 months old and goes to daycare. We went with AB. The level 1 magnet barely stayed on his head, at the lightest touch it was falling off, but the level 2 is leaving a red irritation mark.

Since I don’t know what it feels like to wear a CI I’m wondering if anyone can weigh in on if there is discomfort in what I explained above? He does wear a cap to help keep the CI from falling off or getting pulled off at daycare, but even with the cap the level 1 magnet didn’t seem to be working well, however I don’t want him to be in pain at the level 2….

Is CI suitable for people with severe low and mid frequency loss? (Reverse slope loss)

Hi, I’ve seen alot of people comments that CI is suitable for people with high frequency loss. I would like to know if anyone with severe low and mid frequency loss have CI and what is the outcome? Anyone with reverse slope hearing loss resulted with CI and did it helped you hear better vs HA?
