Well, I finally had the BAHA surgery this week Tuesday 10/2 for the Cochlear BP100.
Now, this waiting for the osseointegration phase is gonna make me feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. My "Gotcha" date is December 19th, so an early Christmas gift :D Actually, due to this date and $$$ due, Christmas presents will be much more limited. Oh well, my family is as excited for me to get this as I am ;D

Christmas and presents come and go but improved hearing is a gift you'll enjoy every day starting December 19th. I'm pleased to learn that your family can appreciate that.
Only 74 days to go...but who's counting? ;)

I have heard BAHA's are wonderful and although the hearing is different, it is greatly improved. Phonaks too. Enjoy your new gift! Millie

My BAHA was one of the best gifts I ever gave myself.
Once all your bandages are taken off - rub your finger very gently over your abutment and you'll actually hear the sound of your fingertip.
A little preview of better things to come ;D

Thanks Jim....I actually didn't start 'counting', yet ;)
Jan....while the nurse changed my pad/dressing thing this week she hit the abutment with some tweezers....Wowza, could I ever hear that ;)
