Asdis, are you severely spastic on your right side?  Maybe they're thinking
if you have trouble keeping a regular HA ear mold in the ear, you may still
have trouble with the implant.  But I don't really know about CI's just HA's
as I've worn a BTH one for over 30 years now.

Joanne, having had an CI done lately, may be able to give you better advice.
Joanne?
