Third Mapping

i wrote about this about a month ago ago, but evidently I did something incorrectly since it didn’t post. I had my third mapping session last month and it went well. I complained to the audi about the very loud and irritating sounds that derive from someone tapping a cereal bowl or putting silverware into a drawer, and she deactivated two of the electrodes saying that it was common practice and that she would reactívate them later. That made quite a difference! It has now been almost five months since activation, and my hearing/understanding continues to improve. I am at the point where my understanding with the implant alone is better than with my aid alone. The only problematic area is when more than one person is speaking. Each voice seems to cancel out the other, so that neither is understood. Maybe that will improve in time.

It'd be really helpful if you started a single topic in which you talked about your journey so interested persons could follow along more easily.

These and similar sounds were almost painful for about a year for me. The Sensitivity settings were a big help with this. All the new sounds can sure be overwhelming. Hang in there and keep pushing to learn new sounds. Continue to raise the volume for better clarity.

Your journey is very normal at this time. You are doing great.

Congratulations Roberto2, keep pushing hard with rehab. I will be very interested to hear how your 6 month assessment goes. What do you have currently?

Thanks! I have a Resound Nexia in my left ear. It’s compatible with my Cochlear implant and streams tv and Bluetooth well. It’s just that sounds with the implant side seem to be clearer and more distinct than with the aid alone.

It is amazing and plan on it getting better and better.
