Hear Again,
Sorry to hear the sensitivity and volume didn't help much.
Hope your cold goes away quickly and you can return to normal.
As far as the technical expert, I wish I had more information technically about how the CI's really interact with the body and how they function. More so, how salt and fluid fluctuation can affect the battery consumption and ability to hear with the electrical path changes. About the only thing I keep forgetting when I start having trouble hearing is to change the filter. This normally happens after I've been stuck out in the rain and took a direct hit on the processor which saturates the filter and creates a microphone muffler.
I like technical stuff and am really trying to push my implants and programs and am by no means afraid to try something different. There are times I forget I can not hear because there are few occasions when I really can't hear someone. I remember having so much more trouble hearing with hearing aids. I will always remember the day they turned on my CI and the relief I felt in that it worked beyond my dreams. These implants have really stabilized by ability to hear and given me back my "security" in communicating.
Well, for me, the stuffed up nose has turned into a full blown mess with drainage, feeling, well, not to great, head pressure all that on top of not sleeping worth a darn last night. So I'm doing pretty well, at least I have not been hit by a truck. Took two Motrin and two Sudafed when I got home from work and that is some really good stuff. Pain is almost gone and the Sudafed is starting to help. I'm probably not suppose to take both at once but O-Well.
I mentioned the static noise during my second mapping and some ringing during my first. Well, I can hear both with louder noises right now but because of how I feel, I'm not alarmed. I'm thinking the chemical balance in my body is a little off right now and hopefully in a few days, I'll shake the cold and get back to normal. Friday is mapping session #3. Might be interesting to see how the maps go with a cold. I'd like to see how the min and max levels change.
On a more less positive note in getting use to my new Right side implant, more of the lower frequencies are sounding better, my voice sounds more like I hear it in my Left ear. I'm able to pick up more and more of the words to songs I know so the healing and adjustment process is still happening. My right processor is louder than my left which I have set that way so I make sure my brain picks up on that first to help in training/learning.
I am really happy with how things are progressing. With everyday that goes by things are getting better and better.
Hope your dizziness calms down. Maybe your Dr will give you some antivert. I had Messlezzne (sp) when I was having dizzy feelings years ago. It never really worked how I had hoped so I didn't take them very often.
