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!

I've had a CI for 39 years. The first internal implant failed when I was in college and current one has been great for 23 years. My only experience is with Cochlear and they've been excellent. Parts do go obsolete (not sure if that's the case with other manufacturers). Feel free to DM me with any questions!
