Guest guest Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Not at all. I have C1512 on the left.and has my op just 5 months ago. Guess I was lucky not to be involved with the cochlear recall as the AB recall did affect me. That's why I waited so long my implant has not let me down at all so far. c1512 My granddaughter has had a failure in one of her bi-lateral C1512 implants.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 you are involved in the recall as it is the piece inside your head they are recalling , like myself too, let's just cross our fingers and hope we don't have a failure , and my sympathies go out to those who have , I'm sure Reimplantation is the last thing any implantee wants. I had a difficult recovery after surgery, it is not an experience I would like to repeat ! Neil Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 You are fortunate. My granddaughter is only 2. So when I read about hearing beeps when the processor is attached and pain, I have no idea what the experience is like for her. I just watch a child who seems confused that she did not hear, then heard with 2 ears, and now hears with 1. She cries in the night and hits her head with her palms. I know that she will have to have surgery again, this after her first 2 put in both implants was in June. We are afraid that the 2nd will fail and she'll have to have even another surgery. I am looking for others with failures to let us know what the experience has been like for them and how the Freedom is working with the 1512, if you have these 2 implants. So many questions! > > agreed, i am just praying that my one doesnt fail of course. fingers crossed > > From: Neil Corby <neilcorby69@...> > > " " < > > >Sent: Friday, 16 September 2011, 23:28 > >Subject: Re: c1512 > > > > > > Â > > > > you are involved in the recall as it is the piece inside your head they are recalling , like myself too, let's just cross our fingers and hope we don't have a failure , and my sympathies go out to those who have , I'm sure Reimplantation is the last thing any implantee wants.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Unless your grand daughter is in pain, and she shouldn't be, it might be wise to wait a bit for reimplantation. Ask the surgeon what she thinks. As for how an N1512 and a Freedom would work together, it would be fine. I've not heard of anyone having problems using the 2 together. I have an N24 from 14 years ago and an N5 from 2 years ago, and both work fine together. Good luck to you and her, I am looking for others with failures to let us know what the experience has been like for them and how the Freedom is working with the 1512, if you have these 2 implants. So many questions! ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I couldn't agree more with you, , and . My Mom told me 50 years ago to not look for ghosts under the bed. That was true then and is true today. In this frame of mind we would all be afraid to cross the street for fear of being hit by a car.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Dear Kathy, My heart goes out to your granddaughter! Prayers that this surgery will be successful and her recovery a smooth one! So very sorry you are all going through this! Keep us posted on how it's going for her. Best Wishes, Patti > > Well, I am sitting in the hospital waiting for my granddaughter to have both of her 1512 implants replaced with Freedoms. The first completely failed, and the second was failing. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
