CI One Month Update

Well it has been sometime since I updated. Everything is going great. I went back to Chapel Hill for my first mapping and testing since activation. My mapping session went great and things are sounding better.

When they put me in the booth to do my testing...the audiologists were surprised with my overall results.

HINT
6% Pre-implant
100% 1 month post activation

CNC
0% Pre-implant
62% 1 month post activation

They also administered the HINT in noise and I scored 82%.

So overall to have only been activated for one month, I would say that I am doing awesome with the CI. So much that my surgeon agreed to go ahead and implant my left ear.

My bilateral surgery date is scheduled for April 7, 2009. We are now waiting for insurance approval.
