It's Cochlea Implant Day!!

We went to Bristol today to have the other half of it completed.
He had the magnet inserted into his skull four weeks ago. Today was fitting the sensor to it. It's a hearing aid type thing attached to a circular magnet on a wire. The circular bit attaches to the magnet in his skull. There was lots of tuning going on for nearly an hour. He has a small suitcase shaped container with loads of bits and pieces, attachments, chargers and paper work. He has two more appointments for retuning purposes.
He is a bit disappointed as it's not as good as he thought it was going to be.
But they stress it can take a time to get it right.
So we go again next Wednesday.
