Lisette Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Hello, I am Lisette, from St Thomas, Ontario, Canada. I am 44 years old, married, mom of 6 (ages 9-20). 4 Weeks ago I had my surgery, which went really well. They were able to insert all 12 electrodes. I got a Rhonda 3. Today was activation day. Took my husband along. I'm hearing a lot of electronic beeps and stuff. But if someone talks to me one on one, I am actually able to follow the conversation with a lot of effort. The audiologist was very pleased with what I was able to hear. Although coming home again to a full household with lots of sounds, that is quite the learning curve still. On my CI side I was almost deaf. On my other side a wear a hearing aid. Pretty overwhelmed with all the technology that comes with it.

HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted April 9 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 9 That does sound like a great start! It is overwhelming to hear everything at first, but over time your brain will filter it. You'll notice it changing quickly.
