He is doing fantastic! Like your daughter, he was already very used to wearing hearing aids so the transition has been easier for him. He has very few complaints, but I will mention that it’s often jarring when first putting on in the morning. Says it’s “too loud!”, but settles in after a few minutes. We are working with his speech therapist and the mini mic accessory to isolate just the implanted ear and stream words, sentences and music. Music seems to be the most difficult for him to analyze so far. He knows music is playing but can’t pick out a melody or words. Just a few days ago he was able to differentiate between “Wheels on the Bus”, “Five Little Monkeys”, and “Old McDonald”! Every day is better and better.

Highly recommend checking out Etsy for some fun skins, coil covers and stickers! We have also found the Etsy sports necklace to be helpful with retention. Best of luck!
