Accidentally Switching BICI Processors

My last post should have read, " I just woke up *from* a nap. "

Happy New Year!

This is strange...When I tried placing my left processor on my right ear, it

turned itself on (and *was* painful!). I did the same for the other

processor (which was equally painful) and it also turned itself on. When the

processor was on and I placed it on the opposite ear, it did not turn itself

off. Hmmm... I do not suggest that you try this at home. LOL!

One more observation before I turn off the computer and leave for a friend's

New Year's party. When I put my right processor on my left ear for the

second time, I could barely hear anything. However, the processor works

perfectly fine on my left ear. I do *not* recommend trying this at home.

Better to look at the LCD screen for confirmation or mark one or both

processors tactually.
