Sweetmind, greema is deaf and very proud of it. She was against the implant, but since her son and grandson is interested, she is open to learning all about the CI and supporting her family b/c it is what they want! She has never said she wanted to be hearing. You have the habit of twisting...

Good luck, Bear! Like sr171soars said. It does all vary, on my first appt. the audiologist gave me hearing test and told me he recommended that I have the CI. Then after that, it was to see the doc and he also said the same thing. My surgery was set a month later and had my ct scan couple week...

Yeah, I was born hearing. I got ahold of the meningitis when I was 2, my first hearing aid when I was 4, never for my right ear. Thanks for answering quick! Stacie Getting excited for your hook-up???

Thanks everyone for the answer regarding turning the CI up higher. Another question.... Is this tinnitus in my head normal??? I've dealt with the ringing before in my left ear, drove me nuts, but this is new. I have them when I put the CI on first thing and all thru the day. It is so loud...

LOL I cannot wait to hear of how your appt goes soon! I've tried listening to music, I'm not ready with that yet lol. I'll keep trying! Stacie

Updates..... Hi all I doning pretty good, it still sounds weird, but wow!!!!! I can hear when I put a pop (soda) can on a table! I looked at everybody and asked them does it always do that!? lol I realized that I keep turning it up, is that normal? I've read something about the brain get...

Sweetmind The others are right. This is CI friendly thread, please keep your negative opinion to yourself on this thread. I created this thread to be CI friendly because the other thread you are always putting CI down. Put CI down, you are putting me and lots of other who wear them down. So...

Day 2 update Hey all I plugged my CI to the puter speaker tonight and watched a newsclip from NBC Nightly News and Chip Reid was reporting and it's was pretty awesome, I was able to get some of what he was saying and I thought he talked pretty fast lol. So I tried bunch of other news clip I...

Yes, I wear hearing aid in left and and CI in right.

Nah, that was the Devil

First day update Hey all It's really strange! lol, i expected strange noises, but this is weird lol. To me it sounds like a constant motorcycle idling and when noises happen, it sounds like that motorcycle is reving up! I can't understand anything at all yet, but I know in time I will and...

I'll do my best! Can't fall asleep, too nervous!

Doing great! Thank you

I'm trying my best to imagine being overwhelmed at all the sounds, I can't lol I've been trying to imagine every possible ways to what it may sound like and no clue at all. I'll find out tomorrow! So far I like my audie, he's seems so straightforward, how I like 'em. I'm sure he won't go...

Thanks! I'm already nervous as to how everything will sound tomorrow, my audi talked with me about what to expect and how things will not sound the same and robot quality speech at first. It does bother me a little about not sounding the same, but I am so excited to have the opportunity to...

I would never "lumped" you with her, you're too sweet and very open-minded. I rarely post to her, but she keeps upsetting me for not trying to look at any bright side of hearing aid or CI. Makes me think she has phobia of noises, i dunno.

my hook-up day is this coming Wed. So looking forward to it. Going to my first beach next month, gonna hear lots of new things and hopefully understanding someone talking in the car for 10 hours ride there without getting so bored. lol

Your choice. Quit judging the people that likes to hear with an aid. You are so hung up about "oh, we can do anything" or "no one accept us" how can we accept you if you don't accept us HA's and CI's user? You get mad if someone brags about HA or CI, yet you just keep on bragging about...
