HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted January 1, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Happy New Year, everyone! @Mary Beth I'm working to advance the rehab on my new CI and get them both working well together. It seems to be taking a while, but ...I'll get there. You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 1, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 @Mary Featherston When I went bilateral, it was a temporary step back and then many leaps forward. I found it helpful to train first CI alone, second CI alone and bilateral. (Except for music which I only train bilaterally because I always listen to music with 2 ears and that’s the pitch discrimination I want to train.) 2019 hearing goal for me....continued focus on musical pitch- recognizing intervals by ear.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted January 1, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 @Mary Beth I'm still focusing primarily on the second CI alone, and then at work I wear both. But once I get that last pesky high frequency integrated, I think I'll switch off left and right for individual work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 1, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 It’s great that you are training your new side. I think for some people, they don’t need to train both sides together. I had listened with only one ear for over two decades so my brain needed some training on how to handle sound from both sides. Smile. Since I hold phones up to my processor mics, sometimes I listen only with my left ear and sometimes I listen only with my right ear. So training each side separately was important to me. And I enjoy aural rehab. I changed it up all the time depending on what I wanted to train specifically. It was fun to me. And I enjoyed the improved listening I achieved with each successive training set. I have now had my implants for over 3 years and I am still noticing slight improvements. It’s an exciting journey. Enjoy training! @Mary Featherston Mary Featherston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
