I have realized today I have not had to ask anyone to repeat a sentence in nearly 2 weeks. I'm not as worried about being around people anymore cause I'm always confident I'm going to hear them fine, and I do tend to. I also managed to hear Thomas say a sentence in the car, without looking at him. Though, I think he was talking like I was deaf cause he didn't seem to process I could possibly understand him in the car yet without looking at him. Nice. I must say it was convenient,.. and safe... as I was going off the road a lot less. :-)
On the flip side, we have not been practicing sounds. It's been 2 months since activation and I'm such a lagger. I've got my first official hearing test with the CI in just a month too.
Do I wear the CI all the time? No. I tend to put it on a few hours after I wake up if I'm going to watch tv or go somewhere, or I might just wait til night time when I watch tv. I might also put it on if I feel I need to be alert to something, such as UPS arriving, or even Thomas coming home. On rare days, I just won't wear it at all. I also take it off several hours before I go to bed because my ear just reaches a point where it kinda hurts from the device. Which by the way, seriously needs to be made smaller. Poor kids that wear these things.

I used to be friends with a kid back in Elementary school that had to wear these bulky hearing aids. I learned fast that he didn't like it when I tried to take his off. I pulled it off completely once and he almost ripped my head off.
ReplyDeleteI think I already commented on this indirectly on facebook, but I wanted to comment again because I had another thing to say on it.
I still don't really know how to maneuver this site. The location of the inbox is still a mystery to me. I may have to locate Scooby Doo & The Gang to solve that one.
