Hearing Hardware

C-Note’s father is a project manager in the medical device industry. Having worked with non-powered implants and disposables, he is extremely particular about the technology used on his little girl. Furthermore, product traceability and minimally invasive surgical options are also very important to him.  As time allows, he will eagerly be expanding this section. For now, this is a quick list of some of the high-dollar devices accumulating within the home.

FM Transmitters:

Phonak Zoomlink <– Solid performer

Phonak Inspiro <– Weak sound, poor craftsmanship

FM Reciever:

Integrated shoes for eXtra hearing aids

Integrated Dynamic for Exelia Hearing Aid

Phonak MLxi <– Future purchase for use with Med-El Processor

Hearing Aids:

Phonak eXtra <– Tried and True

Phonak Naida <– Returned to Sender

Phonak Exelia <– Impressive but sporadic

Cochlear Implant:

Med-El Sonata <– Not activated yet

Med-El Opus 2 <– Not issued yet

* It’s interesting to note that Med-El’s suppliers are employing levels of traceability that exceed US requirements.
