Looking at the chart again I see what you are talking about.
So, certain compatible smart phone are direct streaming while those that are not compatible need the phone clip. Sound right?

That’s pretty much it. My N7 connects directly to the iPhone 7 that work provides but I have to use the phone clip for my personal Moterola e5 cruise. If I could afford a Pixel 4 it would connect directly.

I just received this YouTube attachment from Cochlear by email about the Kanso 2.
It’s advertising but might help some of us looking.

Hi Rick,

When Governer Pritzker moved Illinois to phase 4, that allowed elective surgeries to go forward. Elective surgeries have been going on for about a month now.

I’m doing fine post-op. The surgery went well. Surprisingly, I handled the general anesthesia well wth vomiting or dizziness. I took a week and a half medical leave. No pain after surgery, just some soreness which is still there a bit today. The doctor had me keep the bandage on for three days, came off Sunday). No heaches either. I was put on anti-nausea meds., pain killers, antibiotic, prednisone, and an antianxiety med that is suppoed to help if you get dizzy. The pain killer I took until Saturday, then didn’t need it. I’ve only taken it one more time since. Still on antibiotic. Haven’t needed the anti-anxiety or nausea meds.

I see the doctor next Monday to remove stitches and 8/18 is activation day. My Cochlear mentor and a contact at Cochlear have been checking with me since my original surgery was postponed.

When are you getting your second evaluation? Let me know how rhings are going on your end.

As for me, now we wait…

Sounds like you are doing well. The tuff part is over, making the big decision. I really think it’s a no brainer decision if you want to understand speech again.

An appointment opening came up for today at 3. So I will find out something very soon.

Great! Good for you! Let us know what happens. I remember going through my eval. What I remember is that I just qualified for the implant. I had 60% speech recognition with a hearing aid, I think that was in noise.

Good luck to you later today!

@phobos512 Wow, your wedding anniversary on 8/18! Congrats! I’ll consider that as a sign of luck for my activation.

Still sore, not sure how long that will last. I can handle that, but what is annoying is the ache on the right side of my neck. Took a couple of Tylenol for it. Could take the Norco, but then I’ll be out of it for the rest of the day. Glad I took some time off.

I wonder if a 9.2% Belgian Tripel would suffice?:kissing_closed_eyes:
You are 5 days post surgery. 3 weeks from activation. Waiting time.
I hope you continue to feel better.

@phobos512 Thank you for telling me that. I thought you were implanted recently, I just couldn’t remember how recent it was. The Tylenol has helped so it’s not as bad as it felt a couple of hours ago. I suspect the soreness will go away within a couple of weeks. They were kind of shocked in the hospital when the nurse asked me how much pain I was in and I told her no pain. After the anesthesia wore off, it was just soreness.

When you are activated, let me know how your experience was. You’re probably a week to week and a half ahead of me.

I will certainly post up when I get home. That’s this coming Friday for a few hours starting at 1300 Eastern (1pm). And, at least for right now (I don’t know if the appointment confirmation I received was an automated thing or not), it looks like I’ll get my new left ear hearing aid on Thursday morning so I’m excited about that too :slight_smile:
