Larry S Posted December 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 My activation was better than I expected, I could understand every word the audiologist said. Although nothing sounded normal, Very robotic. I look forward to doing my homework so the sounds become more normal. I'll have my next appointment in a couple weeks Hila, Jimit, ERW and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/14131-hello-from-pennsylvania-usa/#findComment-63369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeafblindinAZ Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hello from Peoria, AZ USA. I was directed here by Med-El. I've worn HA's since I was 21. Started out mild loss, then progressed to moderate/severe/deaf as I've aged. Trying to learn all I can about CI and to see if I qualify for CI which I think I do. I'm 45 and living with my mom. In public she's quick to tell people "she's deaf/doesn't hear well" and by all appearances act like the doting mom. Behind closed doors its another story. I get that it's frustrating living with someone with a hearing loss. But yelling does not make a HoH person hear better. There are so many reasons why aim starting on this journey, but it's mainly person to regain some of what I've lost by hearing loss. I want to soak up all the info I can so I can make educated decisions about my hearing journey.

Hila Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hi @DeafblindinAZ Welcome to CI experience. I could relate to things you wrote because I've been there, going through hearing loss like you. I'm bilaterally implanted, received my first CI at 42. I'm wishing you best of luck in your journey. Happy New Year! ERW and Mary Beth 2 Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/14131-hello-from-pennsylvania-usa/#findComment-64003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
