@maryella7 That's wonderful that you don't have to wait for you BAHA, you must be so excited to be able to move forward on it. I really am excited for you and look forward to hearing how it goes.
I know little about these, but I presume that there are different brands as there are in regular HAs. I hope the audiologist you are dealing with recommends a good one for you. I have good experiences with regular HA brands Phonak, and Oticon. My daughter currently has ReSound and loves them. I have had Widex recommended too by a highly regarded audiologist. Do these brands also make the BAHAs?

Hi JK, It will be fitted with an Oticon Ponto 4 once the healing period is over. I have had Phonaks previously for my right ear. They last a long time. I’m turning in my Oticon demo and most likely purchasing Resound the first demo I tried. I love the itty bitty receiver size. I don’t know if it’s spring allergies or the Oticon demo, but I have had headaches for a solid week. Ugh. I will definitely keep you apprised of developments. One thing I will do at audiologist appointments from now on is request a writeup of the appointment. Goals, expectations, etc. In hindsight, I am stunned that I leave a hearing office without one. It should be standard practice. Anyway thanks. Comments welcome! Mary
