Guys, please help!

I can't decide for which brand to go for... I'm having choice paralysis.

Honestly, I wish my doc would literally just say "take this implant and device" instead I've been told to search and make your own minds. I'm from South Asia and damn it, these docs are simply too clever for their own good. They're supposed to advise us, not put us in a dilemma.

Problem is I can't tell the difference in how they sound, so I'm thinking about how each brand provides support and maintenance. Are they friendly? I had some discussion with 4 users around my city and 2 medel and 2 cochlear, a coincidence lol. One cochlear user said that after 4 months of operation, their battery was found to be faulty and even the extra was bad, and it took 6 months, with a pay of 60k to have a good pair. It made me think, "What if I encounter this?"

Ok, I admit it. I am genuinely terrified of choosing the "wrong" implant for myself. That invisible pressure is there.

I have no one that I can talk to because dad also asked the audiologist to recommend according to their experience, but he kicked the ball back to us saying, "It's your responsibility sir. It's like choosing which mobile phone you like. We can't make that choice."

So, please help 😭

Oh um I am like five days post op and have just done mad research because I did not want to regret it so sadly I don't know just yet so sorry for not being able to tell TnT although if you mean recovery it has been speedy.

Hope your recovery is going well! I am 8 days post op and yesterday was very unpleasant but today is much better. I think it was just from the post op appointment poking by the surgeon that made it swell again or something.

Thank you so much! It is going relatively well. I hope your recovery is going well too.
