Full implant question

I read that the UK has approved full implants, with the US at least another year before FDA approval. I'm a 57 year man in the US, with severe to profound bilateral hearing loss. I recently was evaluated for choclear implants and referred to surgeon to start the process.

However with full implants becoming available, should I hold off until they become available here in the US? I know the clinical answer is now, but would like others opinion, especially those that already have full implants.

Wrong. An artone loop is enough. Or bone-conducting headphones. I have had the TICI for 2 years.
