I'm the same way. There is a slight curve upwards from the first electrode to the 16th electrode which is activated but I just did not hear a response. Perhaps this coming Monday is will. I listened to Grimm's Fairy Tales today. Interesting to say the least :) I still have no discrimination.

The only way I can honestly describe it is certain sounds have what you and I would call with a hearing aid, the feedback. High pitched feedback. I know that audiologist are much gentler with kids with their mappings but I can imagine how scary some of the initial sensations might sound to a...

I got that direct connect cable and adapter. I just took them out of the box and put them in the "man bag" that came with it. I want to wait until I get at least a little more comprehension to speech believe I start using that. :cool: How does the direct connect sound?

Funny that you mention that because that was one of the first things that I requested to be turned off. There was no way I was going to go out to a restaurant and sit there blinking. :) Do you happen to remember what your volume levels were? Mine for the first 15 electrodes are around the...

These munchkin voices are very very very funny. I have kept my processor on all day with the exclusion of about an hour where I lowered the volume and turned on my hearing aid because I was getting a headache and I wanted the Tylenol to kick in before I go back to OZ! :)

R2D2!! That is great that you were able to hear voices and already start localizing sound! That was speedy progress! Does your new ear have a tinny sounds to it? I discovered what you mean by the "Oh boy, its loud!" sound. Paper flipping is driving me nuts today. I had to turn it down and...

Here I am!! A fully functional female cyborg! :) Here is the low down!! :D Jennifer my audi hooked me up to the computer and then told me to get rid of my hearing aid, literally. She had no trouble finding the secret spot where the magnet was. I can hardly feel it! She changed it to a...

If you are not 100% sold on the idea of a cochlear implant and are willing to lie on a speech discrimination test, then you should reconsideration what your primary goal is. The damage is irreversible and the work it entails is not as easy as replacing a dead hearing aid battery. I just had the...

I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well!!! :)

My activation is at 3:30pm. That means by the time I get home from my activation, you will be just starting yours!! We should have some very interesting posts to look forward to tomorrow :fingersx: I am wishing you the best of luck R2D2, you have been a tremendous amount of motivation for me...

Does Good Night, Moon have special sound effects to it? I'm trying to figure out which books have those special effects and which doesn't? I'm kind of a harry potter fan which I want to dive right into but I keep saying, take it slow!!

I was wondering if anyone would share some Audiobooks suggestions and experiences that I could get to use after I get activated on Monday. Thank you so much!!

Hello R2D2, I'm doing pretty good. My incision is healed and I am applying Vitamin E oil on it every night. You haven't been able to wash your hair this entire time? I was bitching about one week :ugh3: My only problem that I have right now is that the tinnitus is back and I can't tell...
