Cochlear Nucleus 8

Yes I am signed up i called left message with my doctor’s assistant she is good with getting right back to me

Called for a update being my doctors office was in touch with cochlear yesterday to submit the dx code when I called they said they were able to submit to my insurance and they approved it right away and it’s been shipped I was shocked and insurance is paying for it all am so excited plus got my new iPhone 14 pro and love it

Bluetooth on Android have been superb . No problem so far with N8!

Congrats! My insurance isn’t that great, they only cover $6k per processor plus 20% copay.
Which effectively lower the cost to $4800 paid by my insurance co out of the $12,750 charging for my sound processor via insurance co…

They pretty much look the same

Is that with the compact battery size?

nucleus 7 compact battery but it should be the same size as the n8 battery

@studio.prawns_0q

My friend was told batteries/coils etc from the N5 could be used on N6.

N7 need different batteries/coils etc and can be used on N8.

I’m curious if you’ve got a take on how it goes in an echoey environment? As that’s the main listening situation where I find the N7 really falls apart.

I am not able to provide you with that info because i am not in a place where there are echoey room…

Guess what! it’s here tried to upload a picture but it’s not letting me but it’s so small compared to the N5 and going for a new mapping tomorrow at 12 can’t wait have to charge the battery got 2 and 2 slimline coil that’s smaller too then my N5 so happy finally

I hope to implant one day . you guys are the lucky ones

Zebras do you know if it’s only batteries and coils? Or Microphone covers as well- I have several here that I’ll keep otherwise I’ll take them into the Cochlear center.

@hambone1205 what colour did your order please?

Can’t say for sure as I wasn’t told when at the Deaf Centre.

Just realised my post was maybe confusing. Your batteries / coils for N7 will be okay for N8.
