Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi Janet! For the Nucleus, there is no specific order when it comes to strategies. It's pretty much up to how the audie wants to program the processor. I started out with SPEAK and played with it for 3 weeks before being switched to ACE. I love ACE! I got my first " ahhhh this is nice map! " with an ACE program and have been improving ever since. I have never tried CIS. I suppose if I really wanted to try it, my audie would put one on for me but I am doing really well with ACE 900. I will save some screen for others to post. ;-) Have a good day!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Janet typed: " Cochlear implants are not for the indecisive, are they? " Take it from an indecisive person, Janet, yes they can be! On my hook up day, my audie started me out with 2 versions of SPEAK and I fooled around with them for two weeks, on my BWP. After two weeks, he did some tweaking of them and added an ACE program for me to try for another 2 weeks. Well, I loved the ACE program so much better so when I got my 3G at my next mapping appointment which was 2 weeks later, I had him put ACE programs in both slots and I have had ACE ever since. You don't have to know right away what Strategy you want to start out with. You can let your audie decide, like I did, and take it from there. Good luck to you!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Argh! More choices?!?! <big grin> Cochlear implants are not for the indecisive, are they? Thanks to all for the clarification. I found the whole " speech strategies " thing kind of confusing but the website didn't say much about it.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Don't worry about these kinds of choices. You'll get to try everything and one will stand out to you and sound better than the others. Not really a decision, just a response to what you hear.
