Great news :)

Glad you're continuing your progress. I have not wore my HA since I left the office after activation. I felt I would get more used to the CI faster without the HA. This is what the audiologist recommended. Things are doing ok. I just feel I need more power. I know she turned it down for...

She did some the first day. From what I she told me the first day the P1 and P2 are the only ones working currently P2 is for noisy environments. That's all she said. I am going to make sure she explains this to me next appointment.

Slightly discouraged after I heard how my friend's results were. One of my friends had 54% first week and the other one was better than that. Still disappointed in my audiologist rushing me out the door everytime I am there without really doing any programming.

Congrats on a successful activation. Yeah it will slowly get better over the next few days. I am still hearing stuff that others say they can't hear. Today I visited work and could not believe how loud the air from the machines is there. Hope your next few days go smoothly. :)

I am very determined to train myself to comprehend speech. I've been thinking about buying a audio book or two where I can sit and read while hearing it.

Got tested today after 1 week post activation. I was a little discouraged during the test until I saw the results. I am around 28% speech recognition. I heard all the beeps but had trouble understanding the words. I heard her loud and clear though. I thought this was good for the 1st week. I...

I was in the living room and the sound of grilled cheese on the skillet in the kitchen made me almost jump out of my chair. Whoa.

I hear pretty good. I am just having problem telling what the sound is sometimes. It's barely been 4 days so I am happy with the results so far.

Glad to be of help. If you've been hearing all your life, a implant would probably work wonders for you. You would probably adjust 10 times as fast as someone who has been deaf or lost part of their hearing years before. I'd definitely look into it. Especially if it put a damper on your...

Three more days for you! :) I go back for my remapping that day as well. lol

Here you go. I just ordered black for my dogs. They have colored nails and stuff. lol I don't know if they work since I have not gotten them yet. Dog Scratching Solutions, Nail Caps for Dogs Thanks, I am doing better everyday. I went to Rite Aid recently and that was a adjustment. It was...

Thanks. :) I ordered these plastic nail covers for my dogs. I was looking on the net and found them. Thought they would protect my hardwood floors and at least quiet their clacking. It sounds like glass breaking to me everytime they walk!

I am sitting here watching a movie rerun and I am actually hearing it pretty clear. The volume is near the minumum. :)

My guess is she uses a basic program for starters. I am assuming she wants me to get used to it a week and then we'll go from there. I am remaining optimistic.

I had the day wrong. It's actually next Thursday that I go back. After viewing some of the other people's activation video's I am disappointed. It seems their audiologist spent more time with them the first day . Mine was over with in 15 minutes. I am going to make her spend the time with it...

I am trying to get a extension off work. I didn't mean to make it sound bad or to scare you before your activation. :) I know it will take time. It's just a lot to get used to. I've had the urge to take it off since I got home. I just lowered the volume and intend to stick with it.

Ok, Just got back. I have been activated a hour now. This is extremely weird. I was prepared for it not to sound right at first. What I wasn't prepared for was it to nearly knock me off the chair when she turned it on. It sounded like a firetruck in my ear. She turned it down and did a map. I am...

Thank you. :) Not too nervous anymore. Just ready to get that part over with. lol Your days are numbering down too. :) Jerry

I am happy to hear everything is good. You were right about sleeping on it. The few times I did sleep on that side caused my symptoms to be worse. The past few days I have seen a dramatic improvement. The swelling around the implant site is nearly gone. I just have the normal bump. I only...
