Bill,

A and B are just generic letters, people didn't feel comfortable

disclosing the actual names of the CI manufactureres on this

list-serv.

This ISN'T the way I understand it, Chris.

As far as I know, it was Advanced Bionics that started using the term

manufacturer A and Manufacturer B to protect one of their suppliers.

Some things should NOT be swept under the rug. Most AB devices work

fine, but history says that there was a bad batch, many of which

failed and are still failing. When people come to this site looking

for reliable information when they are researching C.I.'s we owe them

the truth, in their search, as regards what happened. People who post

here of their implant fialure are posting about their own experience

and their own misery.

Ted, thanks for correcting me. I must have missed a posting, so I

appreciate your letting me know.
