I'll be interested to hear how you like the remote mike when you get it. Also, which one did you order? As I've said before, my cochlear implant was a miracle for me. Not perfect, but so very much better. We are lucky to living in times when these incredible solutions exist. When my hearing loss was diagnosed in 1963, I was told that there would NEVER be any help for my progressive hearing loss. I was a college junior then. It bothers me that people we trust with our hearing issues don't always share this kind of information with us.
