I was listening to my mp3 the other night while working, while someone who has not had access to sound in any meaningful way (through their HA's) might not miss the tinkling of the notes on the piano or the rifts (is that the right word?) on the guitar I was in heaven. The CI makes music sound great my HA's had been at the point for years where I hated listening to that noise. I grew up in a home where my dad played alot of music, back then I didn't really like the classical records, you know bach and Betoven (sp?) Now I enjoy listening to most music. Hard rock still isn't one of my perferences tho. But the point is that one doesn't know what one is missing but the sound of music is one thing that kids with Ci can learn to enjoy and I think that's wonderful for them. Speech is not the only benefit from CI's.

[QUOTE="jag, post: 841584, member: 9855"] I was listening to my mp3 the other night while working, while someone who has not had access to sound in any meaningful way (through their HA's) might not miss the tinkling of the notes on the piano or the rifts (is that the right word?) on the guitar I was in heaven. The CI makes music sound great my HA's had been at the point for years where I hated listening to that noise. I grew up in a home where my dad played alot of music, back then I didn't really like the classical records, you know bach and Betoven (sp?) Now I enjoy listening to most music. Hard rock still isn't one of my perferences tho. But the point is that one doesn't know what one is missing but the sound of music is one thing that kids with Ci can learn to enjoy and I think that's wonderful for them.
