Thursday, August 26 I finally got my device "processor" (or CI from here on out). So I met with the Audiologist and she gave me my whole kit (LOTS of stuff) I got 2 of everything so I have a backup when needed- it's quite the setup and it's taking a bit to get used to.
As for sound, I knew going into this NOT to expect any miracles- and a miracle I did not get. As of now (3 days post activation) I continue to hear a high pitched sound- it's consistent and quite a bit annoying. I still remain optimistic, they say it takes about 6 months to a year to really know if it worked or not.
That's my brief update, next will be more of an emotional one. :D
About Me
- journey
- Follow me on my journey to better hearing. I have had a hearing loss for as long as I can remember. After being sick with Meningitis at the age of 14 months old, my parents discovered my hearing loss shortly thereafter. I was fitted with hearing aids and the rest is history. Presently I've been struggling with ear infections (maybe) and a greater loss in hearing to the point of needing to be evaluated for a Cochlear Implant (CI). This has been stressful and frustrating- so join me in my trials and triumphs as I go through this process! Feel free to ask me as many questions- I LOVE answering questions.
