Guest guest Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi : Congratulations on your second implant. Sounds like you adapted verywell. I'm a 76 year old woman and was implanted May, 2006. We're thinking of upgrading to the new Nucleus 5 but would like to talk to some people who have already done it. My insurance will not help to pay for the upgrade and I don't haveto tell you what a large expense it is. I'm also curious to know how much better you hear with the second implant as that's an alternative for me. Would appreciate your input. Eileen (Boynton Beach, FL) From: scrabbler214 <scrabbler214@...> Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 9:31 AM Subject: Re: CI problems?  Continued success to you, !
