I haven't done much updating in the last few months mostly because my life has been busy and several projects required my immediate attention. But now, it seems that this is starting to slow down and I have more time to work on this. So enjoy! Happy Monday, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 HI Laurie, I'm glad it's going so well for you. I really hope that it goes well for me too. How did you become deaf? My blog should be working, try it again. http://quixoticdeaf.wordpress.com/ On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 7:38 PM, Laurie Maddox <lmaddox43@...> wrote: > , > My name is Laurie... newly implanted last fall... and so far it just keeps > getting better and better!! very interested in your blog... however it was > inactivated... just wanted to let you know, but we have similair backgrounds > so hope to see it running again soon!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 , how exciting for you. I pray all goes well for you and your response to the CI is everything you hope it to be! Laurie, I just had to make a comment about not wearing your hearing aid for the first year or so after being implanted. I was never told that but have heard others say that. I was just told that I should practice as much as I could without the hearing aid and the more time spent with it alone the quicker your brain will learn to listen in this new way. So, I did a lot of TV time and books on tape with the adapter hooked in and my hearing aid off. My speech recognition in both ears (together and separately) are at 100% in the booth. I actually was able to achieve those results shortly after activation so I've been very blessed. I no longer have the need to lip read and can carry conversations with someone in a different room but best of all, I hear all the children/baby noises that everyone else hears of their children. I was amazed at all the baby sounds/breathing that my daughter made that I didn't hear of my son which was pre-CI days. I also found the noise levels to be annoying and very loud without my hearing aid on. The brain handles that much better when you have two ears. I am a bilateral CI recipient now and during that recovery time before activation of the 2nd CI was very draining because of the noise level tolerance. It wore me out! Of course those problems went away when the 2nd CI was activated. It was balanced and I tolerated the noise levels without any problems. Anyway, just had to share a little about that. My response to the CI's have been phenomenal and I'm so thankful for this miracle that God has provided through technology! I love hearing about others' journeys. Thanks for sharing!
