wwhat extras do you use with a ciRe: N22 upgrade

May 9, 2004

Hi. I assume the CI has extra things you can use with it like a hearing aid

does. Are they pretty much the same thing or are there some things better

for the CI and HA? And, Dora, how does music sound to you does it sound

normal close to what it did when you heard with hearing aids or does it

sound like a chimp munk or something you can't recognize. Can you hear all

frequencies with 2 CIs from the guitar to the bass and drums or do you just

hear high frequencies. I also have otosclerosis although not in the cochlea

and hope I'll be in the percentage that doesn't or that things will somehow

very much improve in the next 20 years or so so it's interesting to hear

people's experiences although it sounds that with just one ci you miss

everything on your other side which I would expect if you didn't wear a

hearing aid but don't most people who can still use an aid wear one on the

other side or would you still havethe same localization trouble? If you

would that doesn't make sense to me how would thatbe be possible.

N22 upgrade

> Hi Dixie

> In deed I do have the N22 ESPrit 3G ..have had it now for three months and

it is wonderful.I had not been able to use the telephone ,not even with the

adaptor,with my N22 BWP for almost 3 years.Now I just fli[p to telecoil and

voices come in very clear.My speech comprehension went up from 44% to 79%

the day my N22 ESPrit 3G was activated.Sound is very much like that of my

N24C 3G.There were times that I would put my N22ESPrit 3G on first in the

morning and I would forget to put the N24C 3G on..when I began my walk i

knew it was missing as I was hearing everything on the side of my N22

ESPrit.Music sounds fantastic with either my N22 3G or my N24C 3G but

together i hear in stereo.I now know that should something go wrong with my

n24C i could get along very well with my N22 ..that was my goal when I began

to experience problems with my n22.
