HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 26, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I’m wondering how often you go for a MAPping appointment after you have had your CI for over a year? What typically happens at those appointments? Are you tested on speech and speech in noise? Do you find that you have a favorite MAP that works for you for several years?

Shirsee Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hi, I'm wondering the same thing. I recently had an appointment but not happy with the new maps. Should I be able to return quickly to have something else tried. I knew after 3 or 4 days that they were not better than the map I use all the time.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted April 18, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 @Shirsee Do you keep your old MAP in a program slot so you can return to it if needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirsee Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I do. Currently, it's the only one I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted April 19, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 @Shirsee I am sorry I don’t remember when you were activated. In the early months, while we were getting my ear to a stable spot, new MAPs would sometimes set me back for a couple of weeks while I trained them. But then they advanced further than previous MAPs. I did a lot of aural rehab everyday. If a new MAP did not settle in after 2 weeks, I knew the MAP needed to be adjusted. Now that I have been a CI user for 4 years, I know rather quickly if a MAP change will work. But everyone’s CI journey is unique. Trust your instincts. Wishing you the best.
