Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hi Lenny, I'm so glad that you are doing so well with your implant. It is pretty overwhelming at first when you realize how much you hearing is restored. As far as the batteries, the alert may be on an electrode that is soft yet since you are newly activated. You can ask the audiologist to move the battery beep to an electrode that is louder and/or easier to hear. Don't worry about not hearing it though. Other than being an inconvenience to you, there's no harm. Everything is fine. Keep sending in those super reports. They are great to read. Alice I was activated last wednesday and have been overhwlemed with how much i can hear in such a short time...the second mapping was today my question............I have a Nucleus 3G and my batteries suddenly died on saturday and the new ones died today.....no warning ...no beeping.........is this normal?? lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 The low battery warning beeps can be adjusted by your audie to be heard on one of 2 electrodes. I had been using the lightly lower pitched electrode for a long time. At first, I was never able to hear it because like with all the other sounds, I didn't know it was there until I learned it. Then I could only hear the battery beeps in quiet and not in noise. I then asked my audie to change me to the other electrode which was higher pitched. For me, the higher pitched electrode was easier to hear over the din of the environment. If you carry batteries with you everyhwere you go then you don't have to worry about the batteries dying on you because you will always be prepared.
