#Nucleus 7 vs kanso 2 mods#

So I was presented with n8 and kanso2 optionsĪfter reading all your comments and experience it's still hard to choose however I am leaning towards kenso2 more because of the totally useage but hassle and frustration of mini broken worn out pieces I went thru with my n6 Hey y'all I just had an appointment with my audiologist to fill in the paperwork to start the ball rolling I use the hair clips that came with the processors to keep them in place.

Regarding your original questions - I love the Kanso 2 and won't like having to go back to my N6's (if my Kanso 2's go kaput before I can upgrade again). Definitely something to think about though if doing an upgrade! I am in the process right now of asking Cochlear what an extended warranty will cost (Medicare won't replace my processors until 2 years after their warranty expires and I would never be able to afford new ones). You are not an upgrade so I believe your warranty will be 5 years - so no worries about the integrated battery. My left Kanso 2 battery did die! Cochlear replaced the processor for me, absolutely no hassle since it was still under the 'upgrade' warranty (3 years). I noticed that one of the commenters wondered about the integrated battery dying.

New to Reddit but thought I'd comment since you might still be in a 'trial' period or haven't made a decision yet.

I was profoundly deaf for 15-20 years in my right ear prior to implant. After one month my life has been transformed with this device. The technology is a thing of absolute wonder to me. It can apparently last for 3 days between charges. But I have found the K2 so easy to use and so effective that I won’t do this. I was going to get the K2, wait for the N8 to come out (and now it is out) and then buy it as a back up device. The other thing is that you can get both and then decide. It’s so good after a month being switched on that I don’t wear an aid in my other ear now. I take it off and use a hearing aid in my other better ear when running, playing tennis or reading in bed last thing at night but otherwise wear the Kanso 100% of the time when awake. But mine doesn’t fall off under normal use and the magnet strength was decreased as I got used to wearing it. I have an invisible clip attaching the device to my clothing so if it does fall off it won’t break. The Kanso is just one thing to attach and its done. No messing around putting something on your ear, getting it to fit properly and then have to stick a separate magnet on to you. It’s so easy, particularly if you wear glasses or sunglasses. 100% the Kanso for me and I don’t regret this decision.

I had exactly the same decision to make 8 weeks ago. We now use flairs in this subreddit, and would appreciate you using them if possible.
