Leblisa Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I haven't been thrilled with the tinny, nasal quality of most voices but I can't complain about my numbers in the soundbooth: I had my 4th mapping on my new implant today at 6 weeks post initial activation and then we did some testing. I am doing way better than I realized: My 'old' CI tested at 60% at its first sound booth testing and today it scored 94% ! (It had scored 8% with the HA, prior to surgery). My 'new' CI tested alone today scored at 77% !! (It had scored 15% with HA, prior to surgery). I feel very blessed and so grateful to MedEl for this amazing technology, my terrific Audiologist, my skilled surgeon and super-supportive husband!

HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted August 10, 2014 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Good going Lisa! Yes, there is light (or in our case, hearing) at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait for my next mapping in October. How much I hear now in comparison to before my CI, it is truly amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpl2ci Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Lisa, we will now have to change your title to she who is a true rock star! As such, I have to find a piece of granite worthy of being used as a fitting momento of your status! That is really great news. Congrats!
