JennyB,
I'm fascinated that you're able to hear music with your Naidas. I just saw my audie today and my hearing is worse again:
Hz R/L
250 100/NR
500 115/115
1K 120/120
2K-> NR 
Music just sounds like noise to me. I can't pick out the melody or any of the words. If I see the title, I can "imagine" that I follow the song, but that's as close as I get. My Naidas are set on speech in noise at the maximum gain. I know no two people hear the same, even with identical audiograms, but I'm fascinated and happy for you (and a bit jealous *sigh*).

Hey there,
My audiogram looks something like this...
R/L
250 105 110
500 110 115
700 120 120
1000 120 120
Nothing past that.
What is your hearing history like? I used to have more hearing than that, for most of my life I was moderate-profound HOH. I had the issues with language development though so I was started in Total Communication. I grew up knowing SEE and using oral communication. Now I am Deaf, I use ASL most of the time but I still speak and speech read as needed.
I love music and I always have. It is kind of interesting actually, I can't understand speech or the vast majority of environmental sounds to save my life but I can understand and enjoy music. It was a lot of work on my part, my audiologists too!
Have you looked at my blog? It's a bit of an overview of my life as a Deaf person...includes lots of stuff on struggles with the Naidas! Believe me there have been MANY problems! I just got a new set on Friday, my last ones were eating batteries! My new ones are purple too! Hehehe
