It will be the newest version for the array but they didn’t specify exactly which one

I’d be a little suspicious and I would ask if it was the Nexa (CI1000) lineup. I hope they didn’t give you a casual answer for peace of mind and no further questions.

Pierwsza taka operacja w Polsce. Lekarze z Opola wszczepią inteligentny implant6

W Uniwersyteckim Szpitalu Klinicznym w Opolu w poniedziałek rano zostanie przeprowadzona pionierska operacja wszczepienia inteligentnego implantu ślimakowego Nexa. To pierwszy tego typu zabieg w naszym kraju. Operacja odbędzie się pod kierownictwem...

They are already implanting such a system in Poland :hushed:

I must have missed this post… Good luck Ruth, hopefully all will go well… Kev x :heart:

@Zebras keep checking the UK or equivalent Gov body to see if the Nucleas Nexa has been approved. I just checked and it’s still not been approved for use in the UK. It’s been approved in Europe, USA and Asia Pacific so far but not the UK. So it hopefully will be approved very soon in the UK.

I don’t want to be pushy, but like @Raudrive and @Deaf_piper I think it is worth bothering. The potential of the FMS stimulation strategy is very encouraging and it is possible only in the newest internal devices.

Just want to wish you the best of luck in your implant and the surgery coing up.
Being creative as you are, can you decorate the device before it"s put in place? Or maybe there are color choices. I saw a young boy at the mall with a sky blue CI that made me smile!!!

Could anyone here at UK NEQAS1 steer you in a direction regarding clotting issue?

Excellent Ruth!

Wish you much better hearing and good health

Cochlear implants have two fundamental parts. One is implanted under the scalp that has a wire that goes into the cochlea.
The second is the processor that magnetically attaches on the outside to the implanted part.

The processors are regularly dressed up with colors and designs very similar to what people do with hearing aids.

LOVE IT!!! I’d want some rhinestones (like nail art I put on) and swirls like Kiwi korus.

In the UK, I can only get 1 x CI.

My Audiologist (not used him for 18 months) was ex NHS, and went on a course, where they showed him the benefits of stereo, with 2x CI installations. He was later told the NHS never fit two :grinning:

Good luck Ruth
