Cochlear Implants

VikeFan, in Who Pays the Price When Cochlear Implants Go Obsolete?

What a powerful story of the problems with the lack of long-term support from CI manufacturers.

This is the more extreme version of the "first world problem" for CI users from dual processor clinics. After five years, I will need to pick either a BTE or OTE device to upgrade. If I do a BTE device, the old OTE device may become a paperweight with non-replaceable battery. The CI manufacturers won't commit to battery replacements on old products. I wish they would commit to 10 year battery replacement at a nominal fee.
