When a student has a CI like Kanso 2, is there any difference/benefit towards their capability to pick up sound better (e.g. when being read a test) if you stand/sit in front of them vs if you stand behind them where the CI's sit?

Part 1. Is there a setting (whether similar or separate process/outcome) for hearing aids and CI's to have a max threshold of sound/noise where anything louder isn't transmitted at that dB to prevent overstimulation/uncomfortably/being too loud?

Part 2. Cochlear implants that have mini mic's, do the mic's or the CI's have that capability where if someone accidently talked too loud/yelled into the the mic have a setting where it won't transmit at such loud frequency and hurt the student?

In 2025, our understanding and treatment of hearing loss have advanced significantly. When we look at an audiogram today, how has our approach to interpreting its data and subsequently recommending solutions like Cochlear Implants, Hearing Aids, and Bone Conduction Devices (like BAHA) evolved from past practices? What new insights, technologies, and patient-centered considerations are influencing our recommendations now?

Could you explain the process of what we consider FM system (the meaning) and the difference between that and now DM systems (also the meaning).

Is there an accurate acronym to be using currently or is it important to just cover all: FM/DM/Roger?

Do you personally think that we will transition to referring to them as DM's and not FM's in the future? Like with IEP's and Audiologist terminology use?

So my hearing aid has a wire and receiver in the earmold instead of the tube and behind-the-ear device. I've noticed the wire always breaks easily and needs replacement, or moisture will often make it dull, and I can't use it.

I have gone down the rabbit hole of youtube videos where Deaf individuals in their young adult life getting CI's, hearing sound for the first time, and becoming emotional from the experience (in like "open world" perspective). Have you heard of or experienced these yourself with any of your patients? I know sometimes it can be really overwhelming for individuals to hear for the first time and sometimes hate it and never use it, but I was curious about the opposite perspective.
