Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I'm only locked on Beam, all rest are open. I can adjust them as I see fit. I'm on volume 7 in some and 8 in another. My sensitivity settings are open and I adjust them as needed, I never go up, I'm on a very low speed I stay within the 7-8 zone on all my programs but Beam, and it's locked.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks, . This answered a few questions for me, too. I have been playing with my sensitivity settings and am now using ADRO inside the car. I turned the sensitivity down to about 5 and my CD player in there, which I know is a good one, sounds GOOD again. Thats interesting about the volume being locked, because mine are locked on 9 too. I get a new map next week, so I will ask to have access to those settings too. Sensitivity settings go up to 20, so does the volume go up to 20 too?

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi Ted, The volume only goes up to 9. As far as sensitivity is concerned, I believe the default setting is 12, but can go as high as 20. My audi thought it would be easier if I had my Freedom locked to the volume default so that I wouldn't have to worry about accidentally changing any settings. Now that I'm comfortable with all of the controls, I'm anxious to see how the ability to change volume and sensitivity affects my hearing. I'm glad you found a setting which makes your CD player pleasant to listen to. It can be annoying listening to music when it doesn't sound " right. " When I could still hear well with HAs, I used a 12 band equalizer with my late 70's/early 80's component stereo and was constantly fiddling with it in order to make my music sound better. Now that I have my CIs, I'm starting to do the same thing all over again. <grin> Music sounds *wonderful* with my CIs, but being the audiophile that I am, old habits die hard. LOL! I'm still using the same component stereo and 12 band equalizer after all these years, but I'm dying to find out what 5.1 channels sounds like. I know I'm missing out big time, but unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on a new stereo system. Something I'm curious to know is if a lower sensitivity setting helps make music sound smoother. Music sounds fantastic with my volume default set to 9, but I wonder if it's possible to receive more " bass " (lower tones) quality by adjusting sensitivity?

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 , Thanks for your reply! I'm glad to know that the volume setting on BEAM can be adjusted. I thought someone mentioned that on the list before, but I couldn't remember. Right now the volume level is too low for me to receive any benefit from BEAM. However, I'm sure that will change once the volume can be raised and I'm able to use both of my Freedom processors.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi Patsy, Yes, you're right. My audi " locked " me to a volume setting of 9 for all of my maps. The only map where the volume doesn't seem loud enough is BEAM. All of the remaining programs are fine with the exception of program 3 (an open program) which is too loud for me at this point.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Ted, If you can't get to your audie to have your C levels raised then try upping your sensitivity.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hello Connie, logically I had only tried turning it up, cuz I wanted it louder. But I just dropped it back to 4 in this room where I am and it didnt seem to make much difference. Thats a worry :-) I'll try it again later when I go and watch TV. Ted F. > Thanks, .

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 This is all interesting to me on Volume/Sensitivity. I had CI June 2003. I still do not hear music like " normal " (or, maybe I should say closer to normal). Something (?) is definitely out of whack. It's hard to tell what though. I'd call it " Lack of Melody " . I like the 50s music I grew up with and Elvis sounds like himself most of the time - but the background music just doesn't come in. Drums yes...and some instruments - but, the combination that I get is just strange and ends up being more irritating than enjoyable and when he sings, it is just his voice I hear...no music until after he stops singing. I figure his voice is drowning out the background melody that normal hearing persons hear. In trying to reason out what is missing, I believe it must be the higher pitch musical sounds/blend that is not there - or, just the fact that his voice drowns out everything else. Those of you who hear music well with only one CI might have some pointers for me to try. Of course, I have tried changing volume/sensitivity and switching programs the audiologist has put into my processor(s) (both the body worn and the BTE). I still remain unsuccessful though in finding that magic combination that others have apparently found with their CIs to enjoy music. Again, I realize that with individual hearing loss and programs, etc. makes it difficult to pinpoint what I'm doing wrong (if anything). Everything else seems good - so, I've really no huge complaints about the lack of pleasant sounding music. It would just be an added plus. Evon (BTW....yes, my name is spelled correctly. It is not Evan. I'm female. My name is pronounced like the " Avon " Company.... - except with my name you say " E " instead of " A " ) - then the " Von " part. I've a twin brother (Leon). The doctor who delivered us suggested the names and spelling. OK...I know...I know...off Topic! ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ted, When I go for a mapping, I like to have my T levels set a little louder than what is comfortable. This allows me to have more " breathing room " to increase or decrease the volume control as needed (or in the case of my Freedom -- to stay with a particular program for a longer period of time). I learned this lesson the hard way after setting my T levels *way* too low...so low, in fact, that I couldn't hear traffic or other environmental sounds. Now I always make sure to set my T levels to a point just above my comfort level so I know I won't have any problems hearing. If a sound is too loud, I can always turn down the volume (or switch to a softer program like ADRO). I happen to have a very high tolerance for volume which means I can have my T levels cranked up pretty high without experiencing discomfort. Interestingly enough, my audi said this is common for late deafened adults (like me) who have used very powerful HAs for many years.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ted, with my 3G, I have had my audi set my maps while the volume is on 4 -4 1/2 so I have room to turn it down if I need to and also have room to turn it up. Now that I am comfortable with my Freedom (newest ear implanted) I will have her do the same with that one. Although I don't have a great deal of tolerance for sound yet in my newly implanted ear, I do like the freedom to be flexible enough to have the ability to control the volume. Happy Hearing!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ted I felt the same way so what you need to do is have your audie set your default volume lower--mine is at 7. That gives me room to turn it up or down. I actually was the first person to ask her to do this and she told me that she now does it for alot of people. Connie " Ted F.

Thats the kind of thing I had in mind, to get them set a bit louder, then turn them down to about 7, so I had somewhere to go if I wanted more volume.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 How would that work, Connie? If it was set on 7, would I still be able to have it as loud as I wanted when I left the office? If so, it sounds along similar lines to what I was going to try. To get the volume set a bit too loud for me, then turn it down to about 7. I've had a bit f fun playing with the sensittivity settings, I was looking forward to the same with the volume.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Patsy, I thought so too because that is what I was told. But I've tried it numerous times and it never changes. Maybe it's just my processor? Actually it makes me happy to have it remain the same until I do change it. Have you tried it? Judy in Jax Judy, I may be wrong but I was made to understand that it automatically returned to the setting you had it on when you turned it off (and or took the batteries out).

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thanks, Carol. Some of these things are starting to sound like trial and error. I definately want to be able to turn the volume up if required. The thing that worries me, is that this map is very good now and I dont want to do anything that might stuff it up. Is this possible? Can one stuff up a " good " map at a mapping session? I know its quite normal for ones brain to take a couple of days to adjust to some new maps. When I get mapped next week, I will probably go three months until the next appointment. I havent felt comfortable about going too long in between visits, in case anything goes amiss. There will have been 5 weeks since my last mapping, when I go next week. I have been activated for just over 6 months now.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ted, Why. I am guessing that we dont need a more fine adjustment of volume as we do sens. As to bumping your comfort levels up a notch past comfort, that may work but it may also make sounds less tolerable. You and audi can play with that. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* When I erase a word with a pencil, where does it go? & Dreamer Doll (Guide Dawggie) Newport, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rclark0276@... http://webpages.charter.net/dog_guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
