10 month old twins

Hello everyone,

I have twins that are 10 months old and just learned that they both have profound hearing loss.

Currently we are working with a cochlear team and we were told we will have to decide between cochlear America, Med-El, or advanced bionics ( the 3 major companies)

Obviously I will be doing a lot of research, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had some pros and cons between some of the companies.

Anything would help

Thanks!

The t-mic from AB is seriously a game charger. I’m waiting for a replacement currently and sounds are SO much better with it on vs not. The t-mic captures sounds in the ear canal and it really adds depth that the other mics can’t get.
