Re: Ted/program speed

Hi again, Ted,

My Freedom maps are all at 2400. My 3G is on 1800, which is as high as

it can go. All of the maps are ACE. I keep switching back and forth between

beam and adro in restaurants and other noisy places where there are lots of

people. It's still difficult for me to determine which is best. So maybe

someone who has had their Freedom longer can chime in here. I don't have any

auto-sensitivity maps and no whisper on the Freedom. I do find the whisper good

on

the 3G for watching TV where it is quiet at home. The sound seems to get a

bit louder and more clear. I don't have it on the Freedom as I don't use it

often enough to want it to take up a slot. Hope this helps a little.

I'm so thrilled to hear how well you are doing already!!!

Even thou the gal from cochlear said " don't use sensitivity " I need it all

the time to be on. I'm mapped at 1800, but need sensitity because the

background noise overwhelms me. I also have beam and adro, which I never use.

Just

program 1 with sensitivity and program 2, which is the same only louder

because in the morning P 1 works for me, and in the late afternoon I switch to

2.

ted is that the same as p 2 and 4 that I have on now. that will cut out the

back ground noise. they told me to use p4 in the car>>>>>>>>>>..

Thanks, Jackie. I had the beam feature on for the past 4 weeks, but

in three situations I was in, where I thought it might be useful, it

only helped in one of them. I found the auto-sensitivity more useful

in the other two. So I thought at this stage at least, beam didnt

warrant taking up a slot, because it isnt always easy to get the

noise behind you.

I want to try out the new programmes with the TV and with music.

I am also looking for some decent headphones. I tried some expensive

ones that my son bought up here and they sounded fabulous, even at

this early stage, music sounded good through them to me.

Would you believe that I have only just learned that headphones have

speakers inside them? Hence the difference in sound, the higher end

headphones have better speakers in them. I always thought that the

headphones just diverted the sound from the speakers/amplifier to the

headphones :-)

Ted,

They want me to get use to the everyday sounds, which are too much for me, so

I do use the sensitivity all the time.

[Guest guest]

, I don't think that is good................you need to try to get

used to the everyday sounds. I know it's hard but you still need to try.

Hello

Why were you told NOT to use sensitivity, please? I use it in shops and

around shopping centres and always, inside the car.

My set-up is:

Programme 1 - Normal (everyday use up until now)

Programme 2 - Normal + auto-sensitivity (I use inside car, shops etc)

Programme 3 - Normal + Whisper (to be determined)

Programme 4 - Normal + ADRO (also to be determined)

I'm hoping that one of either Pr3 or Pr4 are better in making the TV

clearer and music sound better.

P3 will definitely do that Ted. I use whisper exclusively for the tv.

Happy Hearing!
