I hope you will be as happy with yours as I am with mine. I also hope you have a good audiologist who will work with you until it is programmed just right for you ..... that is essential for good results.

Post by: CHD63 on November 23, 2011, 11:14:09 am: Should let JO answer, but she has the earlier Cochlear abutment, which is interchangeable with the Oticon. Cochlear did not change their abutment until this year. New Cochlear BAHA users cannot switch.

Clarice is correct. I have the old abutment, so I can interchange them....I feel lucky....now I'm trying to find a home for the bp100...must go to a child whose parents cant afford one...

Post by: dalern on November 24, 2011, 10:18:58 am: I am happy with my BP110 Power by Cochlear. The demo was not great and still had feedback issues. My audiologist has been able to tweak the BP110 perfectly and I am much happier. I get the occasional "whistle" if I am around loud noises, but in the course of a normal day, I forget I am wearing it. That was never true with the BP100. At the point of my decision, I probably would have gone with the Ponto Pro Power if I had had the interchangeable abutment. I think I missed that by about 3 months! However, this is working out for me and I'm a happy camper.

This present just came right on time for a family. I am sure they had a very special Thanksgiving weekend and you too :)

Good luck with the new Ponto Power!
