HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 30, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 There is an abbreviated version called iAngel Sounds that works on iPhones and iPads. It is a free app. @Lynn Agnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted July 30, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I hope you can get the Mac desktop version working too, as the app is very limited. I did try that first but it didn't last me long. A good start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 30, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 The full version works on PCs. The only way to use it on MACs is to set your MAC up to run a PC program. Info is here. http://www.emilyfufoundation.org/angelsound/angelsound_booklet.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rita Marquez Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Yes. Things are good. I will see the audiologist again soon. She only has one program activated on my remote for the new processor. I’m going to ask her for all programs at this next appointment.

Percy Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 The second implant is progressing. In one of my maps I tolerated too much bass when doing the threshold test and it didn’t sound good. I gave it some time thinking that maybe my brain would get used to it but it didn’t. I have another mapping next week to try and balance things out. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 13, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 @Percy It does take some time to get the sides balanced but when you do, it is fabulous. Hopefully soon for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rita Marquez Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 I don’t understand balancing. But the new implant isn’t loud enough. I try to go as high as I can with mapping, without feeling pain. I don’t like the single program she gave me for the new processor. It sounds like I’m listening from down in a hole. It’s like that on the other side, too when I use that program. With my original processor, I always use the loudest program and I get better clarity. I can’t choose that with my new processor, since I only have the one program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 13, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 @Rita Marquez Our audiologists have multiple ways to give us perceived loudness in addition to just increasing the MCL settings. -wider pulse width -adjusting threshold settings (quietest sounds we hear) -changing MAPLAW setting -turning off electrodes that are not able to be perceived loud enough and shifting those frequencies to other electrodes -using triphasic pulses instead (This is only available to Med-El CI users.) -and probably even more ways that I have yet to learn about Hopefully you, your audiologist and the Med-El regional team in your area can help you get the perceived loudness on your new side soon.

Evren Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Heya! I just had my second appointment with audi today. Quite a progress, first thing I tested out was music and I can hear many sounds richer and fuller. Enjoying music way better now. It's not loud enough, because I was way tooo nervous due to fainting spell at activation. So audi tried to go easy with mapping. I was having a chat with a co-worker today, who almost sound like whispering when he talks.. well I unstersood his speech quite good. I understand my wife better, without hearing aid on my other ear. She close her mouth, talk and I can make up the words. No lipreading! My own voice is much better and bass heavy. Doing my favorite voice impressions So,nNext appt is in 3 months. Can't really wait.

HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted October 25, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I wanted to post a 6 month update, saw Audi yesterday for testing. Best News! Ahead of all expected milestones! Even scored 'normal' on the speech in background noise test. Audi said there is nothing more she could hope for, and we'll re-test at 12 months. Functionally my hearing is not 'normal' or perfect but it's pretty damn good. I can operate in most environments without undue stress, maybe more focus than previous. I'm working on the music modules now in angel sounds - that is hard and the area I most want to improve now. More rehab!!!

Sandy123 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Wonderful news. I haven't even being doing rehab really. I will do my third mapping next week. It will be interesting to see how I do. Really hearing well so far..... Wishing you all the best in hearing..... Kylie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
