HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 26, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Along my journey we hit a spot where the sound from plates or unloading the dishwasher etc was annoyingly loud. My audiologist told me that my brain had to get used to those sounds. Sure enough, it did. So if this is a temporary annoying sound, it may just need time for your brain to learn to ignore or accept it. However if this is not a temporary issue, your audiologist can adjust your MAP to ease off of those sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted February 26, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Oh my gosh! Plates and silverware were almost painful. For me, we turned off electrode 12 for a little while. 12 is responsible for the higher pitches. After a few weeks, we turned it on but at a very low level. Then gradually increased it as my brain got used to that range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted March 5, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Higher frequencies were lost at first, so a person's brain has to sort this thing individually.Although I do not have SNHL, I have never heard before my activation such a clear and sharp noise like an elevator made it although I was even 50m far away... So I can understand it...Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted March 5, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Yup, from what I understand, the "avg." person usually will lose the high frequencies first. When they are activated, these are the first that are noticed or come back stronger. It usually takes a little time for the brain to sort out what it is hearing so you will sometimes hear really funny sounds as your brain does not know how to interpret the new sounds it is hearing? hadron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted March 6, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Higher frequencies for me were almost painful. Hadn't heard them in so long, we had to ease into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted March 6, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes me as well. Utensils and pots and pans were a unbearable sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
