Over the winter break Lily discovered and announced she wanted to break out her Advanced Bionics Harmony BTEs and wear them at home. We received the Harmonies when Lily was first implanted, but have never activated them, because Lily has always prefered the Body Worns and done extremely well with them.
The Harmonies give Lily hearing in the middle of her ear with the T-mics and enable her to slip the CIs on quickly in the morning. Lily says the only difference between the sound of the BTEs and Neptunes is that she can hear herself chewing and her voice is louder. However, she does not like how they fall off when she is upside down. And she is upside down a lot! :)
Lily also decided to change her standard Neptune headpieces from beige to pink to make sure kids at school saw them. The first day after winter break she said excitedly that everyone asked if she had gotten new CIs for Christmas.
A few months ago, LIly declared that she never wanted BTEs. Perhaps now when AB releases a new processor in 2016???, we'll be the first in line.
