I think I have told my husband that it was too bad he wasn't a CI audiologist otherwise he could have just done all my mapping himself or teach me how to. He works with computers for a living so he'd learn fast on how to do it. And it'd save us gas $ on driving 45 mins each ways to the hospital and back.
Just look at this: I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for my 1 week post op appt. I get a week off from going to the hospital then May 28th I go back for my activation for my left ear. My audiologist won't let me wear my current CI so she's not gonna bother doing my 1 year mapping until June 4th, the day I go back to get my 2 wks map for the left ear [she's doing it a week early for me 'cause my family and I have plans to go up north with my oldest' girl scouts troop] and she'll do my 1 yr mapping on my current CI that day also. My audi is awesome to work around my schedule.
