Hey all:
How does your perception of your speech/voice change after CI? I read some encouraging comments in Contradica's blog. I am very VERY self-conscious of mine right now--it seems my speech has gotten worse in the past few years, perhaps because I am constantly too stressed to be paying attention to it. Anyway, I was really hoping CI might improve my speech somewhat and that I'll be better able to modulate, etc.
Oh, and I'm really nervous about this whole thing with the CI falling off/slipping off due to sudden movements, hair etc. I have long, thick hair that I am not willing to cut at any cost--has this been a problem so far Contradica? What about jogging and other light exercise (I'd probably take the processor off anyway but I'm curious).
