Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I didn't know what painful sound was like with my CIs until today. While walking down to the lobby to retrieve my mail I heard someone speaking at a *very* loud volume through a microphone PA system along with a large group of people talking to each other. I switched my CIs to ADRO and then BEAM, but this didn't help cut down on the noise. The sound was so loud (and painful) that I had to turn my CIs off. After I got my mail, I waited for the elevator and could feel the vibration of the person speaking into the PA system through the floor, the mail I was holding *and* the elevator door. Yikes! Prior to my CIs, it always used to annoy me when hearing people would ask, " That's not loud enough for you? " or " You can't hear that? " Now I think I have a better appreciation as to why they ask those questions in the first place. LOL!
