Using the cochlear nucleus 7 with a resound hearing aid

Did you tell them you will be getting implanted soon?
Did your audiologist that did your CI evaluation talk about brand implants and processors?

Yes, I told them I would be implanted soon and we did talk about processors. MedEl Synchrony 2 and Cochlear Nucleus.

You can always ring Cochlear and ask to see a representative, who will come and talk to you. They will bring a processor with them and explain the ins and outs. Med El also offer this service. So give them a phone call…

Some of us had problems wi

I have same problem that Kanso 2 is not holding well with CI622 implant. It has been more than 5 months. I have to use hair clip safety and wear a cap. The holding is weak not tight. It is magnet strength 5.

The K2 processors can be challenging for some to hold well to the implant.
I have found the K2 takes a magnet that is one strength stronger that what is needed for the N7/N8 processors.

Something else that might help you is it took the K2 processors about 6-7 months to hold on my implants. It takes a while for the swelling to go down us us thick skinned people makes it even more difficult.

Good luck and in there.

@Deaf_piper I am considering a Resound hearing aid to use bimodally with my Cochlear sound processor. However, I’m not sure if the benefits of this setup are only when streaming bimodally e.g. from smartphone, which is not necessary for me.

I know about AB CI and Phonak Naida hearing aid wireless advanced cooperation between them such as in link below (e.g. StereoZoom) but I didn’t find anything about similar working together in Cochler and Resound case:

Do you know about any benefits from your setup other than streaming, for example, better directionality in noisy environment?
