Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 There is a big difference between the full implant and a processor upgrade. Quote of the nanosecond...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I had to buy my own audio cable & isolation cable. It did not come with the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Oh right ok well the pack I got was not actually an upgrade package as I had never had an implant before so it was a new implantee package.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I got all that you mentioned robert so it is clear that the new implantee package and the upgrade package are different. I think.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 , I am trying to make that distinction clear. Yes you got all that and more, for you just got implanted. A new recipient is not going to get an upgrade, for there is nothing to upgrade at that point. Quote of the nanosecond...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Totally agreed mate at the moment there is nothing to upgrade to plus with the current " NiCE " guidelines I won't be able to upgrade till around may 2016.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 You dont even have anything to think about yet. Cochlear usually creates upgrades that are backwards compatible when the next implant system is developed and released. Quote of the nanosecond...
