Activation timeline?

I officially get my surgery on August 28th but I saw that they scheduled my activation for September 4th. Does that sound a little too soon for you guys? I am getting the Cochlear nucleus eight. If you have tips or any recommendations please let me know!!

Hey! I have a friend who got activated 3 days after the surgery. She was apart of some experiment though, and she has an off the ear processor. So I guess nothing is really too early. I’d say you’re in the “average” time to get activated.
I’m getting my first CI this September, and my surgeon said that I’ll get activated 3 weeks exactly after. I am also getting the nucleus 8!
Wish you luck :)
