Wendy Willard Posted June 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Thank you so much. I am so excited and impatient for the activation. I am sure I will have many questions. Right now, I am going with the flow and doing lots of reading information while off work. I am finding answers to questions I didn't know I had lol.

Haha I remember that too! Getting answers on this forum to questions I'd not considered but were actually quite important!

I heard the usual robotic noises when first turned on. Over the weekend, I went online and found read along audio books and today, 3 days later the sounds are making a bit more sense. I go back Thursday for mapping. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuroniaGirl Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Hi, Kara, from Ontario. I am doing great!!! I ended up receiving an AB implant, so I dropped off the radar of HearPeers. I am still in awe at how my hearing has re-established in my implanted ear. I now consider it my "good" ear, and for good reason. Just today as my hubby and I were enjoying the last rays of summer on our cottage deck, I said to him "I hardly ever say pardon to you, anymore, eh?" To which he replied "Pardon?" I thought he was just kidding around, but he wasn't. Since my hearing has improved so much, I am talking more softly, whereas I used to bellow at everyone! Now he's having trouble hearing me, and his hearing is normal 😅 Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
