Thanks for explaining. Was that 90db at 500Hz? What about the 105db, was it at 1000Hz? Was her better ear alot better or how much better? I must have misunderstood you before when I saw you say "60db" and I was shocked. You did mention she was only able to be aided to 40-45db before getting CI, this would have made sense perfectly for profound loss frequencies. Couldn't she have gotten more gains in the low frequencies? This is what my audiologist is going to do so ill hear louder/more/better. Yes, itll still make a difference thats why he's going to reprogram my HAs when he's not so busy.
As for her loss 5 years ago, that is much worse than what my dad has. His hearing is normal in the low and mid frequencies and only begins to slope down to moderate above 2000Hz, but that's normal for most 60+ year olds.
I remember when I was younger, I had only 70db loss at 250Hz but it went to 90db at 500Hz then 100-105db at 1000Hz to 6000Hz straight. I was able to be aided at 30db in the lows, 35-40db in the mids and only 50-60db in the highs(HAs back then weren't able to do much for high frequencies without getting feedback, I was already getting max gains without feedback.). But at that time, I was on older analogs then got my Widex digital. They didn't come close to the gains/power of today's HAs.
