Thank you! CI is really a good thing! I'm happy with it. On July 8 I will have another mapping.

Thank you :) Shaving hair is not the one and only solution. There should be more. If I deny the suggestion to shave that doesn't mean that I don't want to look for other suggestions.

if it is not improving while removing hair around and placing straight to the skin, why should I shave even small spot?

He is using Final Cut Pro software to edit his videos and he is a professional film-maker.

Thank you, Angel1989! Of course one2one is the best to communicate and that is the only way for me to follow the conversation. My WDS was 0%. I don't even remember myself being able to communicate without reading lips and scanning face expressions. I really hope I will be able some day to...

My husband noticed that I'm able to hear and talk to him without much effort using only CI. Of course I still rely on the lip reading, but before I couldn't even lip read and couldn't understand anything he said, because of the disturbing sensations. I still struggle when talking to kids, but...

same issue here, my magnet is #4, but it is the strongest magnet available at Med-El. Shaving hair is not the solution for me, so I'm trying different options to stick it to the head(pins).

I started to recognize voices, and feel pretty comfortable wearing only CI, without HA. No sensations anymore, only sounds. They are not natural and well-recognizable yet, but I like to hear them.

Sorry, I like my hair and would never cut or shave my hair on the head. Even surgeon didn't shave my hair on the CI surgery. I'm wearing Rondo at the moment, and just pinned it to the hair with its string. Hope it is the matter of the swelling, I will wait.

There should be choice between right men or not. Not hearing vs deaf.

I really feel I start to hear much better, when I use also HA with CI, the sound becomes so crispy and cool, I really enjoy it now, but I remember to practice it without the HA. I wear HA only when I need to do homework with kids and need to hear them. The doctor said the same thing with...

Sorry for the late update, I didn't know that my topic would be interesting) My tinnitus is really decreasing now, by decreasing I mean, it is back to its normal loudness, not as loud as it was after the surgery and first activation.

Yay! Glad to see somebody from Bay Area. Thank you for your input! My second mapping went well, I still in a start of the way, but feel much better. I don't hear well yet, but definitely started to "hear" instead of "feel". Still can't recognize sounds and etc, but I don't worry now, I don't...

Oh no, what a handsome man, rest in peace :(

hmmm I recently had seen the FB post, where one woman wrote something, like she considers non-vaccinated and partly-vaccinated children as weapons, and she said she would use a gun as her weapon and shoot children for her own protection. I was so sick after this post, and would definitely...

I was pulled by police one time in my whole life, they pulled me after 2 freeway exits from the place of "violation", they were driving behind me couple miles before they signaled me to stop.

Are you sure that these drivers are alone in their car? Sometimes babies and kids are not visible in their car seats. I drive on carpool with children, and no one can see them behind dark windows, it seems like I'm driving alone. I don't have much issues with driving on carpools here, cars...

I see a lot of police doing their job.

I'm using program 4 now, getting used to the feeling I get from CI. I don't feel discomfort from sensations anymore. Though I don't hear much, I started to hear very few sounds, and can hear button clicking. I still don't hear low frequencies. Also I have really loud tinnitus, which really...

wrong and it is dangerous not only for the driver, but for the people in other cars. If you text and drive you can crash the car with the baby on board as well. We already had 3 accidents where texting people rear-ended in our car. In the first car accident I was pregnant and could possible...
