Due to continuous expansion of the blog was necessary to make small changes in the structure. Soon they will appear in a new page devoted to CI. Also, the text has been slightly reworded in order to improve readability. Also added some links and external blogs. I hope that the current blog will also be more friendly to navigate. If you have comments-comments always welcome:)
'Hybrids' the fourth month (April 2010) feel
a light breeze, the clouds dispersed slowly and the eyes appear long forgotten warm rays of the sun. Spring slowly sneaks up to the threshold of our house. Thus, it is time to think about the preparation of the garden to greet the first warm days. Pull out the dusty garden tools of all sorts, so I face a new acoustic adventures: an intense roar of a circular saw, a loud whistle grinders, drills strong strokes with a whole range of other associated sounds, such as acute friction saws for wood, delicate clatter of crumbling or chipping furious wheezing sparks spouting from the grinder. The hearing aid is basically an adventure ended at the very mild electric motor noise silenced by the camera due to the earlier mentioned the "peak-cut." Added to this is a whole bunch of extremely violent and annoying sounds of awakening to the spring of living birds. They are for me the most metallic-electric and very irritating experience I've had so far. I feel as if birds were sitting inside my head and dziobały brain. I like to enjoy these sounds? - I wonder. How many poems have been written about their supposedly beautiful singing. Some time later, out of curiosity, I look for "mapping" of sounds on an audiogram.
already much better distinguish the voices of different people, and almost without effort or focus. Diversification became large enough that the degree of comprehension very addicted to the color and depth of voice. As already mentioned, much harder for me to understand people with a low, bass voice. The hearing aid sound quality was not as insignificant because of the dominant role of reading from the mouth and the level of depth rather monotonous voice.
Since when it comes to kindergarten Filipek, regularly brings home the ever-fascinating new words. This allows me to provide intensive training in listening. "Dirty, dirty wall here, paint, daddy will be painted," "Fly, here and here was a fly, Bzzzz did." There is still too articulated movements of the mouth, thus forcing me to the maximum focus on hearing and mental effort. Fortunately, it is very patient and often repeated everything several times, until it succeeds. Another visit
rehabilitation in Kajetany is mid April. For the first time then you need to exercise to recognize sounds. At the beginning of the exercises we conduct only through the auditory recognition of words from an exhaustive list of words (days of week, days, months, numbers, etc.). Not going so it's a total wrong, what is the result of an earlier acquisition of the skills to understand the words on the basis of fragmentary information. In addition, given the range of words which will be used in exercises, greatly increases the level of understanding. However, due the wider band sound perceived this exercise allows me to make a few gaps in the puzzle of sounds, and with fewer "white spots" in understanding the effects of high tones are much better. Much more difficult to distinguish the words very close to each other (eg, beech-bull, mask-bowl, bark-hen, etc...) Then there are new exercises to distinguish vowels (such as: BAB, BUB, BEB, etc...) Some specific vowels - such as "I" or "A" - can be better understood. However, in understanding the rest of the vowels I completely crashed. "O" is almost identical as "E" just wrong to me, "a" with "e" and "U" with "Y". Well I'm getting thrown into the deep end of the consonants (like APA, ATA, AGA, etc...) Here at the start of the visibility is almost zero ... Oh, I'll have a stronger applied to the reprogramming of the brain. And as it follows the sounds of birds are included in this group of sounds, both the highest audible frequency and intensity and the smallest. They lie so far away almost to the discovery of the audiogram. It seems, therefore, that stood in the garden for quite a stranger in an acoustic and a little water will flow into the sea before your ears get used to this kind of sound. However, this does not diminish one bit of joy to hear, or rather sense, these completely unknown and previously unobtainable tone.
Official cyber Explorers Hi, At the top of the page you will find a link to a new page, "Journal of cyber Explorers" where on a separate page you will find brief descriptions of the new outdoor thanks sounds implant / hybrid. I hope that will be useful, at least for the group considering how to implant deaf children and adults, and repeal the cyber world, although the seam of sounds:)))
