I only have a few appointments left with her (as far as I know). I'm hoping after tomorrow's appointment, there is a month gap until I see her again in January 15, a month will give me more time to use my CI more efficiently rather than fortnightly visits of limited usage. I did have an...

Hello everyone, I had my CI surgery in late April, and since then I have been struggling with using my CI. At first, my audiologist was very keen to keep upping the volume each session every 2 weeks and it didn't give me enough time to adjust to the noises and sounds so I eventually stopped...
