What a great report Contradica! I could sort of tell that you were sort of
before the new map (you just sounded so "uhm this is interesting!")
but having been there I was sure that it would get better for you. You'll find that with every change it just sounds better and more natural. So glad you heard the helicopter again and even better that it was a bit further away.
I hope they can resolve the problem with the processor cutting off when there are high frequency sounds. Is the audie going to research it?
I tried listening to another childrens' audio book last night with just the new CI switched on. I had used the same CD with the first implant. I found that I could hear the talking pretty well so I decided to close the book and follow it by myself without the words. I was able to get most of the words of all three stories. Now, I'm pretty familiar with the stories so that must have helped.
I'm getting about 2.5 - 3 days battery life from each processor (3 batteries changed in one session). I really notice now how frequently I'm changing the batteries with two processors! I bulk buy mine with a friend who also has 2 CIs.
I've just called the insurance broker to arrange for damage, theft and loss coverage for the extra speech processor.
Sorry too much detail! LOL!
