Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 In addition to my regular iPod " cardio crazy " mix, I've added lots of Usher, (I absolutely cannot get sick of " Yeah. " ) I have also added Sheryl Crow's " Steve McQueen. " I also like Beyonce's " Make me lose my breath " or something like that. I'm also all about the Scissor Sisters as of late. They have lots of good club mixes, that are great with cardio. I also love my '80s euro-pop. (Erasure, Depeche Mode, New Order, Siouxie, New Order. etc) My guilty pleasure cardio song that is great for warming up is...okay...get ready... " Fat Bottomed Girls " by Queen. Love it! I love this topic! I'd be happy to post my whole cardio mix, but I think it would take too much space! My whole cardio mix would take too long to type! > > I got a kick outa one of my new songs this morning...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi Sandy, Its great that your daughter is always keeping busy with music. One of the therapest I read about for some psychological disorders is music therapy, as well as color therapy. As they mention that singing and laughing strengthern the immune system too. It releases stress & depression too by doing the job of relaxation to the person. I always myself go through breathing exersises & hear some music when I'm over stressed, it helps me a lot. Because you like music too you might appreciate more what enjoyment would the music do for music lovers. Its the best therapy ever. I love music too & I like to sing & all my three boys love music too, its a great thing.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 - would it be possible to find out what your audi did to help you, and let me know? I'm still struggling with an echo/reverberation when I hear all sounds, and I would like to get more clarity with what I'm hearing. I'd like to find out what people have tried, and determine if it might be something that would work for me. We've tried turning off the higher frequencies, but I didn't like how everything sounded then, so we put them back on. I think right now I just have #1 off, and  20, 21, and 22 off, as they sound the same as #19. I would SOOO love to have crisp, clear sounds....it would make comprehension so much easier.  ________________________________ From: " lkozlik@...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 , when your audi made those changes for you, did you take them away with you and give them a fair chance of working, once your brain got used to the new set-up? As you have probably read, in 's case, she said music sounded terrible at first. But it was the better sounding speech part of the exercise that kept her using the settings. Her brain kicked in and got used to the settings and now you couldn't prise them off her, with a crow bar :-) Ted F. > > - would it be possible to find out what your audi did to help you, and let me know? I'm still struggling with an echo/reverberation when I hear all sounds, and I would like to get more clarity with what I'm hearing. I'd like to find out what people have tried, and determine if it might be something that would work for me. We've tried turning off the higher frequencies, but I didn't like how everything sounded then, so we put them back on. I think right now I just have #1 off, and  20, 21, and 22 off, as they sound the same as #19. > > I would SOOO love to have crisp, clear sounds....it would make comprehension so much easier. >  > > > > > ________________________________ > From: " lkozlik@...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 , I just got upgraded to digital cable yesterday and have 45 music channels to listen to. I know I will like some of them and will pipe the music thru my stereo. I also have wireless speakers which are upstairs so its great no matter where I am. Your brain is still working fine as it appears its adapting quickly to the changes your audi made. I can tell you are quite relieved. Too bad I cant tell you I told you so.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 , You are too generous! LOL Yuh know what would be lots of fun is to get that digital piano and sit side by side and see how well our maps handle the music. When I tested one at a music store in September, I did not notice any issues as I plinked each succeeding key. I did notice the last few keys at the far right sounded flat. My friend who was with me said the same thing! Interesting. I did want to take the piano home with me and do further testing. Dont think the people in the store wanted to ehar me pressing keys over and over and over. Nice piano too and priced at $699.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 , Here's your mocha. While you're enjoying it, remember that you still owe me 364 of them, my friend. LOL! Doing a side-by-side comparison would be cool. I'm always interested in hearing how other people experience music with their maps and with there being over 3,000 different mapping combinations, it intrigues me even more. LOL! $700 for a digital piano??? Yikes! I haven't priced them, so I have no idea how much they cost. For now, I think I'll stick with my good ol' 1980s Casio keyboard. It may not compare to today's digital pianos, but it didn't cost $700 either. LOL! Speaking of the latter, I tinkered around with my keyboard today and started plinking the high frequencies. No problems there. They all sound exactly the way they should. My ability to play the keyboard on the other hand, leaves alot to be desired. LOL!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm sorry, . What did you say? I didn't hear you. Could you repeat that? The digital music channels are great! I enjoy listening to the 80s channel the most, followed by " Party Favorites " and then the 70s channel. Right now I'm listening to Robbie Dupree's, " Steal Away " on the 80s channel and it sounds wonderfully crisp and clear. It also happens to be one of my favorite songs that reminds me of how old I actually am. LOL! <mental note to self: age is nothing but a number. response to mental note: yeah, right.> I'm *very* relieved my dizziness is finally gone and that I'm able to hear as well as I do despite the number of electrodes that were turned off. I'm really amazed at how my audi was able to make these changes and make it sound as good as it does. It almost makes me wonder if she didn't have a magic wand hiding somewhere. LOL! Now I'm listening to Whitney Houston's, " How Will I Know. " Whitney has a high pitched voice, but it's coming through quite clearly. It looks as if I finally have my music back and I couldn't be happier! By the way, tomorrow I have voice lessons, so I will be curious to find out how well my current map sounds. We shall see.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ted, You couldn't be more accurate in your statement about being unable to pry my CIs off of me. LOL! I LOVE what I'm hearing now and couldn't be happier. My audi did a fantastic job -- whatever she did. LOL! , The only thing I know is that my audi turned off 12 high frequency electrodes on each CI. She also turned down the overall volume level of my CIs several notches (I'm guessing 3 or 4) because they were far too loud before. Ted brought up a good point about giving new maps time. Having said that, if you're still continuing to hear the same echo/reverberation for 2 weeks, I would definitely let your audi know. In the meatime, I'll send my audi an e-mail to ask her what changes she made to my current map and let you know.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Something else I've noticed is how I'm able to recognize a familiar song within the first 3-4 notes whereas before I had to wait until I could hear the first lyric.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for the info . I've been thinking recently that maybe I should have the overall volume turned down as well on all electrodes, and so your comment has cemented this idea a little bit more. Ted and , FYI, I've been using this map since October, so I think I've given it plenty of time to adjust. I too am a believer of giving a new map, or changes to a HA, more than just a few days to adjust - more like a few weeks to a month or so. I've been to Mayo (MN) so many times since I started this CI journey I was hoping to be able to put more time between trips down - it is a 7 1/2 hour drive one way for me.   My goal was to wait 6 months - which will be my 2 year anniversary - April. It's been recently that I've been thinking that maybe I'll need to go down next month, but now I have another reason why I should wait...I'd like my husband to be employed once again so I can be on his health insurance. Having dual coverage really saves a lot of money on medical bills, especially when I have to spend so much on gas to go down.  We're hoping that a new contract will be available in a few weeks so that he is employed early February.  Only time will tell, and in the meantime he needs to heal up from the surgery he just had on his neck. I look forward to hearing what your audi has to say. Maybe there will be some bits of information there that I think might be worth mentioning to my audi to try - just to see if it would work for me. Thanks.  ________________________________ From: " lkozlik@...

She also turned down the overall volume level of my CIs several notches (I'm guessing 3 or 4) because they were far too loud before. Ted brought up a good point about giving new maps time. Having said that, if you're still continuing to hear the same echo/reverberation for 2 weeks, I would definitely let your audi know. In the meatime, I'll send my audi an e-mail to ask her what changes she made to my current map and let you know.
