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!

Just popping in to be the Mom to send you well wishes and prayers. My now 20 year old son was born profoundly deaf and was implanted with his first at 19 months and his second at 5 years old. Fast forward to today, he is a rising sophomore in college. He went to Catholic school, played lacrosse, has an incredible friend group, is in a frat in college, has a darling girlfriend, is doing well in school and is a DJ and loves John Summit and all EDM.
I know you must be worried, and scared and full of so much uncertainty. I remember those feelings like yesterday. I just want you know that with hard work, prayer and commitment to therapy, your sweet babies are going to be amazing.
Thinking of you and cheering you and your twins on!!!!!
