Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Pete, The implant center will likely have you tested for a CI and from the sounds of this audiogram, I believe you are going to meet the requirements for further evaluation. You're hearing test seems to easily fit within the range. Let us know when you are going to the implant center. Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hi Alice, I'm calling s Hopkins Tuesday morning and find out if they want me to mail the test to them or bring it with me. I guess I will need to make the appointment at least a month from now cuz I have to arrange transportation. to Baltimore. I'll let everyone know when it is. Maybe they can test me Wednsday, operate Thusday, and hook me up Friday. Yeah, that's the ticket.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like everything is going well. Yeah, I understand the Feds have a specific protocol that has to be followed and that may or may not mean a trial period for new HAs. It seems to me to be a waste of time but I guess the Ts have to be crossed and the Is dotted. It's just so some unethical surgeon doesn't abuse people and perform surgery on someone who doesn't need it. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hi there, Here's my audiogram.... in this order (frequency / right ear / left ear) 250 / 55 / 60 500 / 80 / 75 1000 / 95 / 105 2000 / 75 / 95 4000 / 120 / NR 8000 / NR / NR NR means No Response. I don't know why my 2000 hertz is better than 1000 hertz... probably due to resonance in the ear canal. Usually, I use my right ear coupled with lip reading because the 2000 hertz is a bit good. Do you think I should worry about the candidacy thing? Regards/ Jerome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Jerome, The way that I read the candidacy documents, the dB level is much less of an issue than your word recognition (speech discrimination). I would look at the 3 manufacturer's websites and then get the tests they talk about performed so you have a basis for comparison. ____________________________________________ Best Regards, Brad Ingrao, M.S.Ed.
