Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Moses, What are you hearing right now with your CI? If you're doing quite well with your CI, I don't know if the Sound and Beyond software would help you. It supplements the work that an auditory therapist does, and if your audiologist (why not ask him/her?) says that you need AV therapy, then the S & B software would be useful for those times when you can't or won't (due to time or money constraints) see an AV therapist. That's my 2 cents' reasoning -- I got it since I live alone, don't have time out of my otherwise busy schedule, work through assignments quickly and run out of homework in no time, etc. activated 12/8, preling prof, age 32 On Sun, 16 Jan 2005 23:00:32 EST, chinamoses@... <chinamoses@...> wrote: > > I am willing to purchase a " Sound & Beyond " software if it really helps me. > Please advise me.Thank you, Moses > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 If it is the demo there is only 4 sounds on there and doesn't have much use. I tried the demo, and it was VERY limited.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The one I used was Hear we go. It was a full version. It's primarily for teens and has worksheets and different levels. You need to have a partner for this one. It is like a checklist where your partner says a word and you have to repeat it. The pages are set up so that they can be emailed to your audi or sent the same way. It is more of a professional type of program and not really geared for home use as a teaching tool. There is no actual sounds more like written test for word discrimination. forensictom2003 <forensictom2003@...> wrote: If it is the demo there is only 4 sounds on there and doesn't have much use.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 , Sound and Beyond is geared towards adults, to use at home, when they are not able to go for auditory therapy. I think with Peyton, you'd be better off using the speech therapists/audiotory verbal therapists at school because I imagine that Peyton also has to learn language, and have one-on-one instruction. It's better this way. Perhaps when Peyton gets older, then the teen software would be more appropriate.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hello Larry and everyone, I already have one program that summer. This program is very good to learn and practice on ownself. It is easy for me to see these words and pictures. And it have bold and black. I am not sure about accessible but it might work from window. I tried to changed volume in my laptable but could not get it right but I thought it might set because of my window speech recognize person or something in the control panel setting. It only allows limit two different computers becuase you need have two different codes like one can apply online and other mail or contact for other codes to recieve the second one but codes are not the same for different computers. At first I was doing well on three types like sound enviromental and music medoloy very quick like few weeks but I did not do well with some pure tones discrimation like Hz for my reasons. It also have words,sentences and males and female voices so this program have 8 varies choices that you want to learn and work on. But I could not practice this time until I get back to normal and work better. I wish I could surprise people if I do success with this program in the future but I was going to be surprise someone about music medeloy but I did not made in time to be surprise them. If you think this program would help you and you can try to see what is like or what happens that you never know.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Gayle, I have the " Sound and Beyond " software. It is registered to a user and cannot be used by a different user. It was developed for Cochlear by the House Institute. Subsequently House developed a very similar program for Advanced Bionics. This is expensive but I do not recall the title or price . Advance Bionics also sells a wonderful CD and workbook based program called " Making the Connection. " This only costs about $30. Both are available in Advanced Bionics website. I bought the latter upon recommendation of my AV therapist. It does not matter which implant you have to use these programs. I had no problem ordering the AB program online from their website, but my therapist had said that some patients had had trouble previously because they did not have an AB user number.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 " Making the Connection " works on a CD player. I can listen to it on my computer, but it is NOT PC software. It is strictly audio. I do not know enough about Macintosh to know if they play CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have a apple computer. I understand Sound & Beyond only works on reg computers not Macintosh. Does anyone know if Making the Connection works on the apple computer? a from L.A.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Gayle, Sound and Beyond was developed by the House Ear Institute and TigerSpeech. The technology has scientifically tested effectiveness that is impressive. See this website and look for the link titled 'scientific evidence' under the product listing: http://www.tigerspeech.com/tst_download.html You'll also note the software is packaged and sold as both 'Sound and Beyond' from Cochlear, as well as 'Hearing Your Life' from AB. Each has it's company logo and color scheme, but otherwise they are what TigerSpeech and HEI built. TigerSpeech quotes Identical statistics for each in the link above. You're right that it's not cheap. Sometimes one is a little cheaper than the other. You can check on pricing for HYL here: http://www.bionicear.com/professionals/rehabmaterials.asp I don't think either requires you have a specific device to purchase the software. Have fun.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 , Thanks very much for your reply. I wasn't aware of the registration factor with the Sound and Beyond program. I'll be checking out " Making the Connection " to see if that has the help I am looking for. I appreciate you making time to answer my question....Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 , can you explain to those of us without a clue, what the " Making the Connection " CD sounds like? Would it be of any benefit for the prelingual CI user, who has never had any speech comprehension prior to the implant?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I do not think I am really qualified to answer your question. However, I would think it would be good as listening tasks are broken down to small components. For instance, it starts with exercises to identify types of sound (speech, environmental or music). Next with hearing patterns of speech rather than identifying speech, such as how many syllables are heard in a phrase, not what did you hear.
