phonak HA 31yrs
senisnerual hearing loss 2011
Med el implanted 19/07/2012
switch on ..... still waiting

drphil · 07-26-2012, 01:05 PM

Well eggyman having been bumped up 2 weeks is a pleasant surprise. The usual time to wait for healing is about 4 weeks. That is my experience.

The big moment when the externals are hooked up.
The only advice: be very patient with yourself as it takes " time" for your brain to "get used to the new sound".Also, very important for you to feed back to your audi exactly what you are "hearing"-to adjust the "mapping"
.Much success from here on out-hearing wise!

Cheers

Angel1989 · 07-29-2012, 07:45 PM

Hi eggyman. How is your recovery going? I hope your feeling better and looking forward to your activation. Enjoy the ride!!!!!

yspring · 07-30-2012, 03:52 PM

Eggyman (and others reading...)
The best advice I would give is to be patient. The first 6 months absolutely drug on for me. Every little step forward seemed to take so long, but now that I'm approaching my 4 year surgery anniversary it doesn't seem so long! I'm post lingually deaf so my progress was much better than someone who was born deaf, in fact I scored 100% on my 6 month HINT test!
