Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I haven't posted in a long time, but read the posts regularly. We live in Maine. My son Ben (11 yrs) had his CI surgery (in his left ear) at Boston Children's Hospital, in October of 2002 and was activated in November, 2002. He still wears a hearing aid in his right ear. At his last mapping, in April, he was doing quite well. However, lately, he has been complaining about a ringing sound when his processor is on, not when it is off. He has not wanted to wear it because it is uncomfortable. I tried switching processors (Ben has 2 Esprit 3G processors) thinking something was wrong with the processor, but it didn't make any difference. I am waiting to hear back from his audiologist from Boston Children's. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even tried setting all the thresholds below his normal T level, and if the processor is on with ACE, he still gets the noise. With the levels at their correct setting, the noise is loud enough to cover the speech signal. -Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
