Sandy123 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hello everyone, Just wanted to check in and say I am loving my Sonnet. The world of hearing is an awesome one and I am enjoying hearing so much from the past. I am starting to appreciate music again also.. Hope everyone is doing well....

pdk Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 It's 6 months since activation. I wake up, all is very quiet. I go over to my special overnight storage box. First I put in my hearing aid, not a big difference. Then my CI, beep... And the world opens. The birds are singing in the garden and the next door neighbour's dog is barking. I can now hear a watch ticking, bees buzzing frogs clicking. I can have a conversation. I can have a conversation on the phone. The magic continues. Hope everyone out there is also making progress .How is johnl often think of you. Peter Mary Featherston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdk Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Greetings Mary Beth How about a topic... Computer programs, phone apps and how they help. How do you train your hearing? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 22, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 @pdk Terrific update! These CIs are amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 22, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 @pdk We have a separate folder full of info on training called REHAB. It includes phone apps, computer programs, etc. Here is a link https://forum.hearpeers.com/forum/27-rehab/ All of us can start new topics about anything by going to the folder we want it in (rehab, general, Sonnet 2) and selecting start new topic. Give it a try! Let me know if you need any help Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdk Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Rehab was just what I wanted. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Peter thanks for asking about me. I am now into my fourth month after activation and seem to be making slow progress. I can hear “noises” like birds and beeps from microwave and coffee maker although they are still a bit metallic. Music is still just horrible noise. I’m doing better understanding speech - and of course this is the most important thing for me. Lou’s environments present a challenge but I think that’s true for everyone. Next week I go to the audiologist to try EAS. They said I was borderline in terms of it helping but I had them make an ear mold and we are going to try that out. I’m glad to hear you are progressing well. Funny story about rehab. I use angel sounds a lot. The other day it said a word that I thought sounded like “sod”. Well, there were six choices for me to pick from - one choose was “sod” another “sawed”. I picked sod and it said I was wrong - it was sawed!! I gave myself credit for a correct answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdk Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 That's just your real self coming out. I also recall sawed, with the American accent, I didn't get it right. Angel has very hard examples in there. It seems to me you are indeed improving. Great... Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
