Anyone doing well with music?

[Guest guest]

As I approach my evaluation day, Jan 17th, I'm trying to educate myself more and

more,

and, from what I'm reading, a lot of people with CIs have a hard time hearing

music well. I

have a severe/profound skislope loss above 1,500 hz. But my low frequencies have

been

really stable over the last 8 years that I have had my hearing tested. So I am

able to enjoy

music with my HAs, although the lyrics escape me most of the time, and of course

regular

speech is very difficult. It seems that all CIs, or nearly all, give great

speech improvements,

but are somewhat variable with music.

So I am trying to figure out the best strategy. SInce I have stable, decent low

freqency

hearing, I think maybe the hybrid approach could work, if I had an implant in

one ear and

the HA in the other. I'm also interested in the hi-res technology from AB. It's

so hard to

separate the hype from the truth, however, so that's why I was interested to

hear from

those who can compare their music experiences pre and post CI.

Thanks to all in advance!
