Lauren Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’ve been wearing my Rondo 3 more as it’s just more comfortable, only wearing Sonnet 2 when I need the AudioStream for a phone call. Anyways, didn’t switch right back to the Rondo after the call was over and ended up getting another call so answered. Went about my business while on the phone and was across the room at the conclusion of the call so it was ended by the other party. Not sure what caused it but everything was still sounding muffled, almost like my phone was playing some kind of audio but with the volume turned off/way down. Seemed a little better after I restarted the Sonnet. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this? My next appointment is this Friday so it’s good timing.

I was wondering if the sound you were hearing was eas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 The appointment was just booth testing but good timing again as my next appointment is tomorrow. We kept it on topic and in regards to testing/results but gave bullet points to discuss in depth tomorrow. I tested with just the Rondo and did well considering the past year. Tomorrow will be more discussion and less testing. Dianna and Mary Beth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 2, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 @Lauren Good luck at your MAPping appt. Let us know how things go. Dianna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted August 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 @Dianna @Mary Beth Had a good appointment. Decided to not mess with the mapping as I’m doing really well. My audiologist said whatever I’ve been doing to keep it up. We did finally add programs though. I’ve always had only Natural directionality and now I have Fixed and Omni in both. Other than the Sonnet 2 utilizing EAS, the MAPs are identical for both processors. I did express a desire to make the sound brighter/crisper/sharper (if that makes sense) however that would mean adjusting for higher frequency and that would just get my eye a-twitchin’ so for now we left it as-is. Next follow-up will be in 6 months but if I need anything at all I can just message my CI team. Also discussed in depth was going bi-lateral. We actually spent more time laying out the pros/cons and discussing this than the mapping lol. It’s a really hard call. I do want to go bilateral but have more to consider than I did with my left ear. I’d be giving up more than I did and the difference now vs then was only amounted to a drop of 4% in testing. I am still benefitting from a hearing aid and my left ear shouldn’t have taken as long as it did to settle in. The sooner the better, but we agreed to leave it down to word comprehension. I’ll get my right ear tested again in six months and see if there’s been further loss in comprehension. Also didn’t realize it but the test two weeks ago my audiologist admitted that it was on the quieter side, quieter than I’ve ever been tested at before, so there’s no questioning the CI now. (I do prefer it now over the HA). Mary Beth and Dianna 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 3, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 @Lauren You will know if or when it is time to go bilateral. Glad things are going well with your CI. Dianna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted August 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Thank you. I feel comfortable waiting right now. It’ll happen, just not quite yet. I’ll browse through HearPeers and read user experiences who waited 1+ year(s) between implants. Dianna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also due to my surgery in April (hip replacement , my second one) I don’t think anyone would be comfortable recommending me for surgery so soon anyways. I wouldn’t feel comfortable either. I’m rehabbing all up in here (I’m so hip and with it that I needed them replaced, even if it was several years apart). Dianna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been my HA I wouldn’t have been as panicked. Dianna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, waiting to hear from my CI on if I can pop in for a quick check just to be safe. It ended up under my car, processor on one side and the cover on the other. Found the cover first then carefully looked and spotted the processor on the other side. Just got back from changing clothes (I work in an office) as I looked like I fell down in the parking lot lol. Wet and covered in sand/gravel (both me and the processor). While home changing I threw away the cover and grabbed a new one and before putting it on checked the processor thoroughly and cleaned it and then put the new cover on. Hope it’s good. What a way to start the week. Mary Beth and Dianna 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
