Hi all,
I had my three month check up on Friday so I wanted to update this....
I improved on all the hearing tests, by just a few percentage points, but I don't suppose there won't be any dramatic improvements from here on out. The thing is though, the last few tests were a little more difficult - background noice, lower frequencies, more difficult words and sentences.
My overall hearing level is right around or just below 30 decibels, and the test scores were from the high 80's to 100 percent depending on the test. Coming from where I came from - I'll take it!
The tests and most of the rest of my appointement was handled by a trainee: welcome to my blog Lauren! Jennifer was still there of course.
My processor was mapped again and things are sounding real nice: loud but not uncomfortable, and very clear. I also had the 'whisper' music program installed. I now have four distinct programs: 1= main (noise with autosensitivity); 2=whisper (music with ADRO); 3=focus (for noisy environments; 4= old program (in case something goes wrong with #1 - I can temporarily go back to this).
One other thing for this post: I have been keeping pretty active and my implant has not hindered me in any way. I take it off to play basketball but for raquetball I just put a headband around it and it stays on fine. Same for when I went skiing last week, and sledding today. It's amazing how easy it goes on and how well it stays on.
Take care my friends!
