Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Jackie, Has it already been 6 months since your bilateral activation? My how time flies when we're having fun hearing! <smile> My experience in understanding speech has been similar to yours. That is, I have a much easier time understanding speech with the Freedom but overall, my 3G helps with the bulk of my speech discrimination. Interestingly enough, I am scheduled to have bilateral testing tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how much the second CI is helping me with speech understanding! Although I'm able to understand speech with either the 3G or the Freedom, I find that the Freedom helps provide greater clarity to some of the consonant sounds. In a previous message to Snoopy I expressed an interest in changing the high pitched nature of speech. I think I may discuss that further with my audi since that high pitched quality does make some voices much easier to understand. Here's wishing you continued success with your bilaterals! <smile> Left ear - Nucleus 24 Contour Advance with 3G Implanted: 12/22/04 Activated: 1/18/05 Right ear - Nucleus Freedom Implanted: 2/1/06 Activated: 3/1/06 Quote
