Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 is mitchell new at this ci thing? i have some buzzing and i dont knwo what it is. i dont use whipser to r colid and is alwys there, no matter if i am room with frig microwave or frig. its jsut there no matter what im doing where i am. someone told me some prelings have a humm or sound of motor running in background and lasts for few months. i have it too its not alwys there but mostly when i have it on loud as i can. my ci deaf preling freinds tell me it goes away after a few months, sometimes after first 8 months. so i hope so. it can be annoying if u think about it. i am geting used to it. i need to ask my audie in few weeks if thats normal or what. i m thinking its part of adjustment to loud noises becase at lower volume its not there. by the way i ve been only hooked up three weeks so am a newbie joni preling hu 4-04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi Joni is a newbie and an oldie I guess. He is 10 years old, had his first implant at three and went bilateral last year when he was 9. He only has a W setting on his new side as his first side he still has an N22 (waiting for the 3G). Yesterday I took him to a quite room checked he had his CI set to W and whispered very quietly " Would you like to go to the bike track? " He had been complaining about the buzzing till he heard what I said then he grinned all over his face. So was I. He was grinning cause he could go to the bike track and I was grinning cause he heard me. I explained to him how quietly I had said that to him and that if he wanted to use the W setting sometimes it would work for him. I dont think his dad would have heard what I said if I said it that quietly and there is nothing wrong with his ears (except a bit of selective hearing) We might make a bit of a game of it I think where I will whisper something and see who gets it right. If yesterday is anything to go by I think will blitz it Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Way to go Kathy-- Smart way to outsmart !!! I remember what a rough time you had getting him just getting him to concentrate on the N24C. I think you would have to make a game out of this with him to get him to succeed. And of course he has selective hearing-- Who doesnt? <GRINS> -- Snoopy bilateral RI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
