2) Therapy is a MUST since I cannot tell the audiologist how to change the mapping because I have no idea if it sounds right or wrong. My AVT, after only 2 sessions, already knows how I am hearing "wrong". Certain sounds tests distinguish mistakes that I make due to the fact that I cannot tell the difference between 2 sounds not because I don't know what the sounds are.
Interesting stuff!

That is exactly the point I wanted to make. If you want it and want to work so hard it is great.
I just wish they would stop pushing it as a magical cure for the born deaf.
It works better on late deafened.
