Set2: I'm not sure if it had anything to do with our R ear being implanted, good question though!
I didn't have the test at my one month post activation so I have nothing to compare to at this time. My audi will probably re-test me at 6 months though so hopefully my scores goes up. =] If not, I'm perfectly happy with 89%!!!
Vallee: Like you, I am worried about using th ephone. I want to use it again so bad but I am scared! I don't have a CapTel phone so I can't fall back on reading what someone on the other end is syaing if I didn't catch something. :/ I stopped using the phone when I was like 18? :/ I remember using it with my last boyfriend before I met my husband. But I never used it with my husband, becuase we always just used IM's and after about 8 mos, I was living with him anyways so we never needed to use the phone. lol.
Everyone else with old and recent CI moments- congrats yall!!! 
One more recent CI moment- yesterday at my Dr's appt with a new Dr I've never met before. I was so surprised to know that I understood the rep at the front desk and the Dr with no problem! It was amazing! So now I'm gonna feel much more comfortable going alone, I used to drag my husband along, esp when pregnant with our daughters.
