    What is the average length of time to get used to cochlear implant?

    I know everyone is different and every audi is different when it comes to how skilled they are at mapping. But what is the rough average of when CI users begin adjusting and enjoying their implant? I will admit I am only 1 month in, can hear what I am guessing is EVERYTHING but still can't...

    Ci cause head to throb

    When I turn it off, the throbbing goes away after 10-15 min. Just now turned it off again. I know it's not the case but since I am getting so used to the loud sound in my CI, I swear it seems like I am rapidly losing hearing in my non-implanted ear bc it's not as loud. I just turned it off as I...

    Ci cause head to throb

    I have been wearing my CI now for almost a month, have had 2 tuning sessions and another one due in 2 weeks. I am having a problem where after 4 or 5 hours in a loud environment my entire head throbs, even my non-implanted side. I have to turn it off for a 30 minute break or so. Why does it...

    Allman brothers band member commits suicide in front of his wife

    I happen to agree with this. Wants her to suffer. I forgot what movie...I think the Tudors series on Netflix. Henry's last wife..Jane Seymour I think. Her husband was dying on his deathbed, she had been unfaithful, his last words were "Go to hell"......fitting, appropriate

    Chicago's 'out of control' violence produces 762 homicides in 2016

    And yet Chicago has the most restrictive gun control laws of any state. Further proof gun control laws dont work.

    just got home from my first mapping. The dings and bells are pretty much gone. It wasn't that my brain needed to get used to it but rather the programming was off. took them an hour to get rid of bells, then when making more adjustments they brought it back and finally got rid of them for...

    I agree that all the noise is exhausting. I had my wife feel behind my ear this morning and this evening to verify what I suspected. After wearing processor all day, scar behind my ear swells up.

    Women's march....

    I was unhappy when Obama was elected. So were many other people but you didn't see us marching and crying over a democratically elected president. No, we bit our tongues and accepted it. I guess it was too much for the other side to show the same maturity.BTW....is Madonna even a US citizen...

    I am a huge MMA fan. Woodley is catching all kinds of flak for his racism comments. Hopefully he will be a short term champ as Wonderboy dismantles him next time. Lawler would win rematch
