My Second Ear: Another update - from the pool!
http://mysecondear.blogspot.com/2010/07/another-update-from-pool.html
The musings of my journey to getting my second cochlear implant. Monday, July 5, 2010. Another update - from the pool! I definitely did wipe the processor down after I got out of the pool and placed it in the dryer. Today, I also went in the pool, and I got knocked off a float, and my implant did get wet, but again, nothing changed in terms of sound quality! I was really impressed. It's nice to have the security of having a back-up processor, and my other ear as well with the Freedom processor!

The musings of my journey to getting my second cochlear implant. Monday, July 5, 2010. One more thing - the phone! Another pool related triumph (sort've). I was wearing only my new Nucleus 5 because of the water resistancy thing. Well I got out of the pool and realized my phone was ringing. I didn't have enough time to get my Freedom processor on, so I used the my new ear to talk on the telephone and it was great! I was able to understand 95% of the conversation! Posted by Mark Allen. Wtf have i done?
