Updates on Cade and my 3G...

[Guest guest]

Hey Y'all...

Yesterday was Cade's hook up. (mom) said that he is doing very

well. The audiologist turned on 12 electrodes for now but she will turn

few on later next week or two. Cade responded to every sounds the

audiologist made. He is wearing BWP right now and will not get BTE for

few years because he is still little kid. told me one funny story.

Cade couldn't walk yet so anyway the audiologist was holding the BWP and

Cade kept grabbing the cord and cause the coil to fall off. The

audiologist was getting the BWP ready for them to take home. Cade crawled

toward and the audiologist didn't see him crawling to ward her and pulled

the BWP out of her hand and start to crawl away dragging the BWP.

said that she think Cade is on SPEAK right now and will remain on SPEAK

for while.

I finally found out what is wrong with my 3G! It is not 3G, it is the

maps on 3G. The problems I experienced with 3G is from the way my

audiologist widen the pulse widths. I will have to go back sometime this

week or next week and get the maps adjusted. The reason I am doing very

well with BWP because it has a much greater output than 3G. The

audiologist from Cochlear said that I still have a problem with 3G, then

one of audiologist will fly to Utah and see what s/he can do but my

audiologist will have to try some suggestions that she has received from

the audiologist at Cochlear. (sigh) What a lot of work I will have to go

through to get a piece of plastic to work for me.

Did I ever tell you guys about one of my friend Bridgette? If not, I will

tell you about her. She is profound pre lingual deaf but she have more

residual hearing than I do accord to the audiogram. She is 19 years old

now. She used and still use sign language as primary communication

method. She went and got herself evaulated for cochlear implant. The

surgeon said that her condition is perfect for cochlear implant but the

surgeon will not reccommend her getting cochlear implant. She can speak

okay but it will require the normal hearing person a patience to

understand her speech also her writing skill is not that wonderful. BUT

the surgeon presented her name to the cochlear implant board and they

have discussed both sides and haven't come to the decision yet. Bridgette

will find out next week or two depend on the surgeon. I hope that the

board and surgeon will make a right decision. I am neutral in that

situation because I do understand both sides. I just hope that everything

will work out soon.
