OK Im creating this thread to find out if others also experience some annoyances with their CI's..
Please DO NOT use this thread to say things like *non ciers say this and that*
I want this thread to relate directly to the CI only.
1.The long trips to my CI center- my CI center is in Mayfield,Ohio which is about an 1 and a half drive from here.
2.Having to change batteries so often.- I have rechargeable batteries thank god but they only last about 6 hours and then you have to change.
3. When first putting on the CI it sounds so loud!! lol
4.Having to hear the irritating sounds along with the sounds I wanna hear- such as rain on the windshield while trying ot listen to music, ughh.
5.Sometimes the batteries come unplugged leaving me with no charged up batteries for the day and no CI.
6. Sometimes my ear itches and I accidently knock the CI off and or when I try to get my hair out of my face I accidently knock it off.
7. The CI getting tangled in my hair- never had that problem with my HA's.
8. Hearing a new sound- Some of you will say this is a plus, but to me it isnt because whenever I hear a new sound, I go searching for whatever is making that sound and if I cant find it, then it just drives me nuts, trying to figure out what it is.
9. Sound overload- this mainly happens to me at places like Cedar Point or in a very crowded place, sometimes too much sound isnt such a good thing. At these times I simply turn my processor so low that I cant hear anything or take it off.
10. Sometimes I accidently fall asleep with it on and end up with a sore head the next day.
Tell me about what annoys you with your CI. We have soooooo many positive CI threads, it would be nice to have just one small annoyance thread.
