Don't expect everything to come back at once. I heard voices on the first day but couldn't use the phone till month four after telephone training for a month. Music was the last to come back for me. It was lots of intense listening and following along with the lyrics infrint of me. Thanks a lot for the info and support I guess I have to be a patient person which will be tough for me but will other CI people responding it will get me thru this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Megan L. Posted November 17, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 You're welcome Dave! Yes, I love music Since getting my new ear, I've been trying to listen to more variety to see how they sound. Thanks for mentioning Jazz, I hadn't thought of that for some reason. Any recommendations? The phone will come, everything is just going to be practice and patience. I keep telling myself "be persistent and consistent." Beyond excited for you! Can't wait to hear how it goes on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
