Pre-Surgery Audiogram

Those O's you see, are where my right hearing marks are (you should see that it slopes downwards 
going right). The graph is highlighted into 6 different segments which is the basis of sound levels 
(as indicated in the squares). As you can see, I was usually hearing just low pitch in the moderate 
and loud range, and not picking up much sounds pass 1,000 frequencies.

This graph is a small sample of where certain sounds are located. Such as an airplane being at 110 
decibels, 4,000 frequencies (in the high pitch, loud sound range), and dog barks at 80 db, 500 frequencies 
(low pitch, loud sound range).

Back when I was a kid, those "O" markings would approximately be shifted 30 decibels higher, which also meant I heard more frequencies back then before they sloped off the chart. That was maybe, 15 years ago.

Right now, with the CI, I estimate I am hearing things in the low pitch, soft sound range (low decibels). Mostly, but definitely some moderate sounds still. Which is definitely sounds I haven't heard since I was 7 years old. Though, these sounds are not sounding precise, but the CI is picking them up. My brain will eventually register them and with CI mappings/adjustments, they should become more clearer. I am not sure if the current settings are so ranged that I've been blocked from hearing things like airplanes with the CI, or not, because I have not been able to really distinguish the low and high pitch, loud sounds with the CI yet (the bottom of the chart). The sound of someone talking, is currently, one of the loudest sounds I'm picking up, and often headache inducing.
