It's been over 48 hours now and quiet a whirlwind. The people in the pictures are only a fraction of those who wore "can you hear me now" donald duck shirts on Thursday. It has been fun and humbling at the same time to see all the support.
I went to see Jennifer again today with my wife for some more fine tuning of the CI. It is a little clearer now. She actually turned the volume down slightly. Voices are sounding a little more normal (not so much donald duck!). I still have trouble when not facing someone who is talking. I enjoyed listening to the radio in the car with my daughter on the way home from school. Couldn't hear the words that well but the beat and music was clear.
The one constant is the terrible racket of noises in my head, like a vacuum cleaner with bells and whistles all at the same time. Jennifer said this would gradually go away as my brain continues to adjust to all the sounds. I sure hope so because it really is annoying.
I will be going to church tomorrow. I look forward to hearing the singing and organ again and listening to whoever is preaching. I hope all goes well.
