It is all new to you, the first few mappings are time of adjustment. What you heard with first map was less than 2nd map,,, what you hear now, will improve with 3rd map... make an appt with your audie for antoher map.

The more you got used to new sounds, your tolerate builds, so next time you go in for mapping, your " window " will expand. In other word, what seemed loud yesterday may seem softer today, it does not mean you are hearing less, you are actually building the tolerate so the need to increase the loudness need to be adjusted. I am trying to think of how to explain..... let say,, you broke your arm, got your cast off, your range of motion is limited and you struggled,,,, in time, you can move more with ease. Same idea with your hearing. There is no cause for alarm. You can call your audie, explain you can't hear, ask if she can move your 3rd mapping sooner. Let me give you a hint,,, if you usually have your setting at " let say " 5 on your volume/sentivity dial, suddenly you need to move it up to 8, that is a sign for new mapping.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 are you saying that they're increasing the frequencies little by little? I didn't expect to lose hearing ability with that song even though i gained in everything else. My next appointment is sept 29th. I'm not sure why it's so far away, I already know what I wish to have adjusted. I'd try to move it up but they know what they're doing, maybe I should just leave my appointment date as it is? spottedlee@... wrote: In a message dated 9/19/2004 7:34:14 PM Pacific Daylight Time, wildbanditkj@... writes: What happened?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 AHH!!! That explains it! I was thinking to myself today that I had my volume set so high up and I didn't like how I had my volume so high up. spottedlee@... wrote: In a message dated 9/19/2004 9:01:14 PM Pacific Daylight Time, wildbanditkj@... writes: are you saying that they're increasing the frequencies little by little? yes, in a way, it not frequency that being gained, it more of loudness that you can tolerate.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 If there is a sudden increase in the sensitivity, say from 5 to 8, then you go for a mapping? I thought when the volume hit 9 and sensitivity 12 or higher that is when you go for a mapping?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 wendy-- you are right when the volume on the SPrint is at nine and the sensitivity is at the maximum control is when you need a new map or when you cant go beyond 0 or 1 on the SPrint. on the 3G the control knob goes up to 7 that would be an indication for a map also. Hope that helps Snoopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I think it's an individual thing Lee, I know with the 3G my audi likes to keep the wheel set about 4 so if someone is constantly turning the volume or sensitivity up past say 5 or 6 or so, it would probably be time for a new map. If it's constantly being set up to full blast then it's definitely time for new mapping. It's been so long since I wore the bwp that I can't remember where I had my dial set most of the time. I think there's something in our files telling when you know it's time for a new map. I'll see if I can find it.
