Updates..... I'm still discovering new sounds that I've never picked up before with my HA. I still wear my HA in my other ear, I don't ever want to go back to just hearing out of one ear. My HA is really complimenting my implant, sounds blend in together well and really helps with just...

Awesome!

Hey, I wanna wish you luck with your appointment! The question that made feel better when I asked my doc were some of these. How long have this doctor performed this kind of surgery? How often this this doctor do this surgery? How long will the surgery last? How much hair will they shaved...

Hey Frag, your boy's a real cutie! I had the motorcycle revving sound. Every noises sounding like that. Lasted a few days like that for me. Our brain are learning to interprets all the sounds during that stage. Def. will not last long! I see in his pic, he has hearing aid and CI like me. The...

I know exactly what you mean, I watch so much of the oldies now b/c of the captions. I love it! My aunt and uncle had gotten a new tv and was fooling around with the menu and came across it and just had to show me the next time I was there. For the first time I was able to understand what was...

Everything sounds great for you! I got new shampoo lol, so it's not as much tangling now lol. I don't know what my hz is set on, but it seems that my battery is lasting a half day longer lol. I tried the phone a couple of time and the speech is not clear for me, I'll keep trying. But I can...

Very true, it's starting to sound more like I remember.

Have you tried hearing aid yet? Most insurance company required that you wear HA for 6 month or so to see if you can benefits from HA or not before they approved the CI. I was HOH (hard of hearing) most of my life until last year I lost more of my hearing, putting me in the profound loss...

I got tons of good moments. My bad one is my long hair. I've always kept it tuck behind that ear, but I have the processor in the way now, so when I put my hair behind my ear, I knocked it off. Getting a haircut before long anyway lol. Another bad moments, I'm sick of someone turning the kitchen...

2nd mapping updates.... Hiya all I went for my second mapping today and it went great. There was a woman there from Cochlear, she helped with my mapping. She explained a lot of things to me and even said that I would be a perfect candidate down the road for a 2nd implant. It was fun lol. I...

I had a great vacation. Be sure to post on how it sounds to you now, the waves. I tried listening to the waves with just my HA, it was so low, like someone splashing in tub. With my HA and CI, the waves sounded so loud and rich, so detail. It's just so hard for me to really describe it, it...

OMG! I thought I was the only one lol. Drives me nuts when they think I'm mad or just pouting, hell no, I'm just sitting there lol I finally got fed up and told them they all sucks when it comes to reading my face. How do we really get them to stop making assumptions? lol

Updates..... Hi all.... I'm loving my CI. I noticed that when just wearing my HA, I barely hear the phone ringing, but with the CI and the HA, it's loud and clear. I still can't talk on the phone good, so I'm looking forward to being able to do that before long. I heard the ocean better...
