JimmyB Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hello group. I like my audiologist, and I'm wondering what my sessions with them should consist of. Other than balancing the volume of tones over many frequencies and updating my AudioKey App, are there other things they should be doing? Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 3, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Still early weeks for you. Congratulations on your CI. At that point in my journey my audiologist: -tested my hearing in the sound booth- tones, single words, sentences in quiet and sentences in noise -ran a test to ensure the electrodes were all operating fine -made MAPping changes to my programs as needed -answered any questions I had -discussed how listening was going in my real life Abdulaziz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyB Posted January 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Thank you Mary Beth... I'm going next week for the full hearing test in the booth with the equipment. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimit Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hi @JimmyB, I activated on 2nd Sept only and have met my audiologist once since then. We just did a breif conversaion over the life before and after CI and he was quite happy with the progress. He then added another map based on my feedback. But I found my hearing with CI fluctuate when I am getting hearing attacks (due to Maniears) and I am now used to change the volume and sesitivity as and when needed. BTW, when I said fluctuate, I mean it sounds different than usual so to adjust to normal hearing I have to change the setting. Thankfully it's occational (once in a couple of months).
