Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Alright last Monday I had the new Freedom processor implanted. I did really well on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I had to deal with some throbbing around the ear. Today is Saturday and I did very well most of the day. I can see things are starting to get better for me. Well I hope that's the case. I plan to go to work this Monday. Tuesday I'll see my Dr. for a follow up on the operation. Then Wednesday I meet my audi and get hooked up. WOW. Last year I had to wait 4 weeks. Now its 9 days. I guess as long as I heal up enough, I can get going. I will be listening out of both ears with a CI. This is a big thrill. I know I'll have to start over training my new ear. But from what I heard and read here the people who got their second implants done actually picked up a lot faster than they did the first time. So this is just all too exciting. I'll keep you all posted soon on the progress. Tad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Tad, I've noticed that others who have been implanted with the Freedom do not have to wait 3-4 weeks like those of us who received the N24C or N24CA. One person on another list had surgery and activation only a day apart. I wonder if surgery for the Freedom is such that there is a faster healing time? I wish you all the best for the 18th!! Being able to hear binaurally will be a wonderful experience I'm sure!! <smile> Implanted: 12/22/04 Activated: 1/18/05 Deafblind/Postlingual BTE hearing aid user 20 years Severe-profound hearing loss 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
