Tom Manz Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Has anyone ever had a echo in their med-el. I have had one for two years and have been to two audiologist and even a med-el Representative. Has it been resolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel the Stranger Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi @Tom Manz, welcome to the forum. Can you let us know more about the echoes? I also have them but I'm only 4 weeks post activation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 21, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 @Tom Manz During MAPping adjustments I have experienced an echo once or twice. I told my audiologist and she adjusted something in my MAP and it vanished immediately. I do not know what adjustments she made. Sorry. I have never left with a MAP that had an echo at any time in my CI journey. But as you know, everyone’s journey is unique. I know several CI users who benefitted by going to different CI centers for second opinions on their MAPs. Do you have one CI? Are you wearing a HA in your other ear? Is the echo there when you listen with just your one CI alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Manz Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 The echo is just sound after the spoken word. everyone's voice and sounds have a high note, more like Micky Mouse. I have told my audiologist but when they bring the pitch lower its hard to understand words. Music is completely unrecognizable. I have 1 hearing aid and that sounds like normal hearing without the CI. I live in Durham NC and and go to Duke for my adjustments. Have been to 2 audiologist and a Rep. from Med-El. I have had this problem from day 1. Thinking of contacting Med-El which is located here in Durham. This will be my next step but just wanted to know if others had this problem.
