Today was a day of discovering. Discovering just how noisy everything is. Nothing is silent. When I comb my hair, when I walk, when I do anything it makes loud sound. With an implant the brain has to get used to all the sounds coming through my implant rather than the normal way it receives sound. Per my audiologist, my brain will begin to filter this out and I won’t notice them.
I wore both the hearing aid and implant processor all day and practiced some word recognition of words spoken in the program. I’m not up to 100% yet, but close.
Today I paired my mini microphone with the processor. Bill clipped it on and it sends his words directly to my ears. It can be used up to 22’ away from me. What a treat that is.....until he went into the kitchen and started putting a snack together. It sounded like clanging and banging. I quickly retrieved my mic. I have a few other accessories to try later.
