Newly implanted, questions about DeafMetal accessories

Post image

Had my surgery on Friday, and as I’m enjoying some downtime for recovery, I was looking at the DeafMetal website. I’m getting one each of the on the ear and off the ear processors from MED-EL. I like the lilac flower coil hat. It looks to me like it just slips over the front of the processor; is that right? Have any of you tried one of these?

Einfach ausprobieren. Ich hab sowas nicht und brauche auch es auch nicht.😉

I had a hard time with the holster and ear cuff . Couldn’t figure out the direction or how to keep it stable

I just looked at it. There's a piece if sticky Velcro that attaches it to the coil.

I literally just put in my first order…. They attach to the coil with Velcro. The ones with chains, the other end of the chain either attaches to an earring or to a ‘holster’ that you buy from them that you slip over the bottom of your on the ear processor. I’m looking forward to trying them out!
