Re: Between 2nd and 3rd MAPpings...

" don't be so silly, these will be resolved to your

satisfaction! " -- okay?

OK, Chris. I just did. :-)

I must add - you are doing very well with your new implant. Gradual adjustments

will give you more and more of those sounds you are seeking. It's not unusual

to need increases in the dynamic range often and this is what I think your ACE

programs need. I do know several people who have CIS and wouldn't change it for

anything. You could be one of those.

For you and for the audiologist, this is the time of experimenting and searching

for what will ultimately become your perferred strategy which you will likely

only tweak once a year. I know I have mine and suspect most of us " oldies " also

do.

The volume setting of 0-9 is just the range that is available to you, as

is the sens setting of 0-20. Its the T and C levels that will detemrine how

much how loud you hear sound. Dont fret, you are far from reaching the

limits. The brain is adapting and in the beginning, will adapt quite

dramatically for many people. Also, the audie usually adjusts the T and C

levels quite often in the early stages. As to the high frequencies, that

too will change with time and more mappings. You are just a baby yet.

ACE and CIS. You may want to keep both for a while longer tiol you are

sure which you prefer. And yes the audie will tweak things so you find

yourself in the working range, vol and sens. You are not even two weeks

into this so what you are experiencing is normal. And it is progress.

My implant is set to deliver the frequencies from around 100Hz to around

8000Hz. If my implant had been put in a fraction of a millimeter further in or

out, the implant would still deliver those frequencies but I might perceive them

slightly differently. Nothing to get concerned about though!

the CI electrode? "

,, i learned a long time ago.. (less than one year),,,, trust the

audie,,, even though I still do not understand all those mumbo jumbo that

everyone else talks about... Your audie will fix things for you,,, as for your

mapping,,, it is still avery narrow window, it will expand and you will hear

more...
