After weeks of patiently waiting, Britt's new Baha arrived. He was anxious for the day he could retire the band. This new product from cochlear allows us to push off surgery even longer. The device its self works better than his last one and the hardware for wearing it is super discreet unlike the black band he has warn for months now. The cochlear representative met with us and our audiologist on Wednesday & she brought along the accessories we ordered for his Baha. We ordered a mic for teachers and a color kit to change the exterior color of the headgear. We set up the Baha to Britt's needs and shaped the headgear. He smiled just as big as the first time he could hear. This new way of wearing the device gives him confidence. We have been so blessed that no one has picked on him for his band. The school students and staff are fantastic. Before the appointment ended the rep from Cochlear gave Britt a tote with so many goodies. The best part was that the Cochlear mascots is a moose. Britt has had a stuffed moose since he was a baby and it still lays next to him in bed each and every night, tattered and loved. The glow from Britt as he pulled out a stuffed moose with its own Baha and a moose coloring book amongst other things is indescribable. Biggest toothy grin! I love how this boy sees sunshine in everything! He is amazing! & look...you can barely see his headgear!We love cochlear!
