I think even if you are one of the ones who appreciates music more with a CI, you'd have to give it longer as you were only activated recently. A lot of people have commented that music was one of the last things that fell into place and often took months. For me, music sounded a whole lot better when I went bilateral.

I am getting much better with people talking to me in quiet places. For example; at my job outside with the food delivery truck driver, he talks near me while I'm reading the purchase sheet papers to mark off the groceries. It's amazing that I can hear him say things such as "two cases of corn meal flour and one box of heavy duty shortening oil"
while looking down at the paper.  It's truly amazing. I have no prior practice with these food words and yet I heard it all.

I'm having problems with my BlackBerry Curve. I can hear all the telephone sounds; ringing, busy, "Hello?" but I set it on speaker phone and the voices sound just blasted screaming with static noisy speaker phone noise. I do not understand how to adjust the cell phone. I'm thinking if it's on speaker phone, it would be like the delivery truck driver talking near me then I'll do well but it's not happening. Anyone have this problem?

I never use speakerphone. I have a clam shell style phone that folds out so that the microphone is close to the microphone on the CI. And I use the tele coil. It sounds great and really clear, as if the person was standing next to me.
