Re: having conversations farther away than usual

[Guest guest]

The other day my husband and I were working on the yard. It's

always been a pain for us communication wise since he'd have to stop

what he's doing and walk over to speak with me. As he was on one

side of the yard pulling weeds, he called out for me to get the

rake. I was 50 feet away with my back to him-picked up the rake and

took it to him. As I handed the rake to him, he jumps up and gives

me this huge hug saying, " Yard work is so much easier with your

CI! " I was touched!

away.......ie a car coming - from further away........it v loud...........I can

pick up speech/somone talking from upstairs when I am downstairs - esp shotuing

--- Hi

I agreed with you that I can hear from far away and can

understand my husband whatever he need something. It is so much

easier with my CI, that he never repeat anymore. Not even look at him

in the car while I'm driving.

Thanks Joni. It was a nice experience for me also. So far it hasn't been

repeated, but there is more time yet

I go down state to try the SPEAK next month. Hopefully it will get rid of

the whiny voices I am getting now. I have also noticed the last couple of

days that the 'echo' is back so hopefully the audi can get rid of that

again. Doesn't make listening to people very easy.
