Today was mapping session #4 for my left ear. This time, we took a copy of my everyday program and made it Fidelity 120. This mapping strategy allows for a more finer programming and would be akin to going from a regular color TV to a high definition TV. The differences are much more pronounced with music.
I noticed the difference right away. Sounds were much more clearer but without sharpness associated with impact sounds. It’s almost as if the sharp annoying sounds in the high frequency range are buffered. This would be like banging on metal, up-close rattling, clapping, etc. And music does sound more fuller. One thing I did notice right away when driving home…background sounds, such as road noise, were not as significant as with my old program.
Although it will take some time for my brain to get used to the new programs, I am fairly optimistic the improvement will be even greater than if I stayed with the original program. And, I am really looking forward to that day when I finally get over the psychological hump of using the phone!
Yankees are on…later y’all!!
I’m glad you made the switch…I think you’ll like it! Might take some getting used to but it won’t take long! 🙂
You’ll be talking on the phone in no time. The psychological part of it is the hardest…start by calling Time & Temp or something. I talk on the phone several times a week now…I still don’t just love it but I’m getting better at it!
Sam, glad to hear you are making progress! I still have “phone phobia” at times but it has gotten easier. . .hang in there and take one step at a time, one day at a time!

Make the switch is a huge challenging moment and it will get better each day. Just keep practice using the phone and you’ll get the hang of it.

When I was activated I was started with Fidelity 120 and I never tried the older strategies but I’m glad you are dancing along with the 120’s 🙂 Has your volume stayed the same?
Oh just pick up the phone Sam! 🙂 you can even use http://www.sprintcaptel.com to help you out 🙂
Sam posts like this one is so helpful to me now as I prepare for CI. Thanks for sharing.
And yes, your Yankees whooped my Jays last night sadly.
Cheers

Sam, sounds like excellent progress! I love reading these details about the fine tuning, not only so I can to cheer you on from the sidelines (Go, Sam!!), but also because it gives me a sense of what my little one may be experiencing.
