Thought I would share with you how things are going with the CI.

At the last mapping session, I had one of my old HiRes programs put back into the 3rd slot. This program is somewhat softer and not as sharp as the other 2 programs which are Fidelity 120. And I don’t experience the twitching I had when I was all Fidelity 120. The reason…when I put the CI on in the morning, I start off with the HiRes program for about a half hour. This gives everything a chance to “wake up” more gently. Then I switch to one of the Fidelity programs, usually the one for all purpose hearing (the other one is for loud situations). As a result, not only do I not have twitching but the tinnitus also stays away.

On other hand while BBQing last night, I heard an interesting sound…boiling liquids inside the aluminum foil fish wrap Steph made herself for dinner. Really cool! Unfortunately, on the other hand, I am more responsive to her calling my name from all over the house (not that I don’t want to hear it but its usually some boring chore or something…hehehe).

And lastly, 2 family reunions (hers and mine) coming up. Both of which none of either families have seen or talked to me since I had the surgery. Oh boy, is that going to be for some really interesting moments!!
