My activation day was on Monday. It's been an interesting experience so far. My audiologist started me off right away with the Hi Res 120. There's a lot more variation in the tones with the 120 than with the Hi Res program he gave me.
I'm not going to to write about it too in-depth here, since I've been blogging about it. The url is: unstruck-sound.blogspot.com. I've put up a bunch of posts today about what the experience has been been like.
I'm getting the typical, wow, birds are really noisy experience that so many people get. It already sounds a lot better than it did two days ago, but I've still got a long way to go. Overall, it's been a positive experience. The wind is starting to sound more normal, as are a lot of environmental sounds. And strangely enough, even though it doesn't sound right, I'm able to differentiate between most notes on my guitar. I can recognize the beats to my favorite songs. Voices sound like static, but when I'm lip-reading or reading along they sound almost normal. The brain is such an amazing thing. I'm having a lot of fun with this. The birds have definitely been my favorite part so far.
