Mapping update

8th Mapping session

Had both of my maps ( left & right ) done and its wonderful to see both maps looking striking similar in most of the electrodes. Fine tuning both 44 electrodes was fun and hearing the 'softest ' of all lowest sounding beeps is getting easier and better. Both maps showing excellent dynamic ranges in all frequencies and hearing this made my grin / smirk wider knowing that both implants are getting a nice even balance

New Year commences - 2009

Magical moment last night for NYE 2008 - chatting to the neighbors with beer in one hand in pitch black darkness under the moonlight and hearing & listening to every word that was being spoken, I would have struggled with this pre cochlear.

One month since switch on and loving it - looking forward to fine tune both processors to equalize the balance.

another note - love youtube and have a listen to this
