Things are continuing to get better...matter of fact they are AWESOME!!! I never thought I would say that I am actually looking forward to an audiologist appointment at UNC next week to test my ears, but I am! Things are sounding marvelous, but some times a tad too loud. We will have to play with my thresholds next week. We had my right ear up to 15-25dB across the frequencies. When we activated the new ear last week we did not check thresholds, but I think between the two that maybe they are just a tad loud. OR it could be the people around me. I know everyone is used to talking louder for me and now they don't have to, but they still are out of habit. I am trying to find "nice" ways to tell people to speak normal!
Anyways...all is well and I LOVE having two ears. After five months with only one ear I am thrilled to have two ears. I never thought I would say this...but I am actually looking forward to my graduate class tonight....I want to see how much better I can hear!
Have a great day!
