Hi Julie and Tina ~
Julie - good luck! How are you liking the VA? I did my fourth year at the VA in DC and loved it!
Tina - yes, I think we have met online before ... years ago.
I got my first implant (Hugh) in 1994 as part of the Clarion (Advanced Bionics) clinical trials. Amazed by the results, I went back to school for my Au.D. In 2004, I became bilateral (Buttercup) then Hugh died quietly in my sleep one night and Blossom was born in 2005. A whole host of complications followed my third surgery, but all is well now.
I've recently moved back to the west coast and am back on the medical side of audiology.
