HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 1, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yep, forgot those. They are very good. I didn't use AB CLIX but did use Amgel Sounds Don't forget the rehab available on the Medel sight as well. I used it a lot in the beginning.

HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 1, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I had trouble with it. Wouldn't down load or other issues. Needed a second person to do it with me. I like to do my training by myself as I easily get distracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 1, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I couldn't use angel sounds the voice was too low in tone. I liked AB clix. As I was saying the med el site gave me trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 1, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I would give the Medel site another go. Maybe check the speed on your computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 1, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I was just at my one moth mapping and they told me to do audiobooks and telephone training for now. She said that the audiobooks will help best with the type of speech comprehension I need right now. As well as telephone training which is through cochlear.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 6, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Makes such a big difference knowing people with shared experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted January 6, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Enormous difference when you understand how it should work from a technical standpoint and when you actually see or feel from an individual experience. Like Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam: https://www.sculpturegallery.com/sculpture/creation_of_man_fragment.html One of those WOW moments...
