On Friday, September 28th, Li-Li goes to Children’s Hospital for the 6-hour cochlear implant surgery. She’ll remain overnight (me, too!) and will likely have a bit of a headache and hangover, so she’ll be on some heavy duty drugs (kids today!). We’ve placed our order for the Cochlear Inc. Nucleus Freedom:
Built for a lifetimeNucleus Freedom is built using the toughest materials available including titanium and platinum, and is tested to standards developed by the U.S. military.Future-ready electronicsNucleus Freedom contains the SmartSound™ digital microchip, designed with the ability to handle a broad range of future upgrades and enhancements. As new speech processing technologies emerge, you will be able to take advantage of them without the need for further surgery.
Best of all, Apple’s iPods and iPhones now feature an adaptor specifically designed for this implant.
