Well, seriously separated and living the single life since August. Anyone from MD or PA? Looking to make some friends that I can relate to and vice versa.

I didn't get permanently activated yet. They only did a pre activation which was a test to make sure my auditory nerve was active and working with the implant electrodes. When my AuD turned on the voice, it was a bonus, not part of the test. It didn't sound normal due to not having it mapped and...

i'll take the backpack. It will drive me nuts to death if there was a pebble in both of my shoes. And I think for sure you will get a great cardio work out with walking the steps to the top. Good for health and heart.

diarrhea... and lots and lots of gatorade and pedialyte to replenish my fluids. Don't want to die from dehydration. Oh yeah, a big tube of diaper rash ointment...i'm sure my ass is going to hurt from wiping non stop. lol.

Sorry for the misinformation. NaidaUP is right. I'm still learing about the CI and what AB offers. Thanks for straightening that up NaidaUP

Cheers, beers for my ears? lol, that is a good one. I have Advance Bionics (AB) with HiRes Fidelitly 120 and will be starting out with Neptune processor T mic Tcomm. And when the Next generation Processor is approved by the FDA, I will be getting that as well. It looks like the Harmony...

Jess, you described it right, like a bass drum IN the head. lol. I'm also aware that the more i wear the CI, the faster and easier my brain will process each and most of the noise. I could hear well with a HA for about 38 years until i lost it back in oct. I'm expecting good activation due to...

Green427, I know i will be able to plug my processor into an Ipod or anything with a 3.5 mm jack. I'm starting out with the Neptune since I race in harsh conditions such as mud, water, dust, dirt, and of course I will be sweating inside my helmet. Do you know what the Neptune is? I know you have...

lol, what the hell? flirting, light saber, smoking perfume, cartoons, and ice for erotic encounters on my thread.....amazing when a thread gets sidetracked by more than a mile. I don't mind though :lol:

I tried to change my avatar picture twice to a newer and better racing picture of me in action. It will not change. I do have the pic resized properly and in my user CP, the new pic is there where you change the avatar, but it's still the old pic in my newest replies or posts. What am I doing...

Exactly what I was thinking. It can be fixed for way less than 8K or the extended warranty covers it if recovered from the lake. If worse comes to worse, hire a professional scuba diver to search the lake bottom where she fell in.

Had my surgery July 2nd and post op check up on thursday July 11th for the AuD to make sure my incisions were healing and to do a implant/auditory nerve check. Sorry, I don't know what the test is officially called. Well, she put the UHP on my head and did some stuff on her laptop and I'm just...

Kendi, Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. My surgeon was Dr. Artz. He did a great job, was courteous and professional from day one. Even came down to waiting room to apologize to my wife for taking so long due to my ear anatomy being "smaller" than normal.

thanks for all the encouragements and well wishes. Everything is healing fine and just dealing with some swelling around my ear and just sore. I am looking forward to getting activated and put in the work to be able to hear as well as I can. I will probably post a video on youtube on the day I...

All went well with my surgery to get implanted with a CI on Tuesday July 2nd. Most of my tinnitus I had all of my life is gone except for an occassional blow dryer noise that comes and goes. The pain from the surgery isn't to bad and don't need the pain meds. I did lose my taste but it is slowly...
