Wow...mild to moderate in low frequencies and profound in high frequencies. I am severe in high frequencies, but below 85dB I think...wow, this might be worth looking into more. <abbr><em>Meredith’s last blog post: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meredith/3293509911/" rel="nofollow"></a></abbr></em> Oh wow, I see now – not the Soundbridge but the EAS is what you meant.

Don't know what that means... but seems to me that it'd be inaccurate. I find that when they test for conductive loss I can Feel the thing beeping but not hear it.

You could send an email and ask just to satisfy your curiosity. It took about two weeks to get a response from their generic email address: implants@medel.com but that was over Christmas.

Looks like it's for SN loss, and the audiologist I saw a couple of weeks ago decided my loss was conductive. I have no idea why somebody in 2008 said SN and somebody in 2009 said conductive, but apparently they can't decide! <abbr><em>Meredith’s last blog post: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meredith/3293509911/" rel="nofollow"></a></abbr></em> Whoops, nevermind – the Soundbridge, right?

I've never heard of mild being a candidate for anything. I'm quite happy with my hearing aids, delighted with them, but that "ultimate gadget" factor (as Mike Chorost calls it) suddenly popped into my mind. Would they really implant a mild candidate? Does it remove residual hearing? I need to do my own research, too. <abbr><em>Meredith’s last blog post: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meredith/3293509911/" rel="nofollow"></a></abbr></em> Whoa…MILD is a candidate for this type of implant?!

You can now be even more confident that you're making the right decision rather than rejecting any possibilities out of hand.
