with pure curiosity, I try the same ear to listen to both the "normal" hearing aid and implant-the dismantling of the hybrids and the establishment of an acoustic camera to the same ear. Some sound is nothing permanently attached to the processor (another words, it mounted "by a light socket"), so this operation is trivial. As already mentioned previously, part of a hybrid acoustic power is relatively weak and involves only a small part of the low frequencies. Fortunately, after talking to MCSM I was offered a longer part of the implant (the so-called. Coil "M" - from "Medium" - instead of less, which is usually used for hybrids), so part of the implanted could extend its range a bit more range and reduce " white spots "on an audiogram. An attempt, however, showed poorer understanding of the vowels in a better understanding of consonants. It seems, therefore, that such a solution resulted in dominance of the hearing aid over the implant and consequently there was a return to the hearing similar to that existing in the same hearing aids. Thus, a hybrid solution seems to be more complicated than I thought.
still make mistakes in the differentiation of the sound "O" Phone "E". The problem is that in hearing aids phone "O" is recognized as having a higher, and "E" - at lower frequencies and so the brain was "scrambled" for over 20 years. However, in reality it is vice versa, and so it is received by the implant. But the brain is so difficult to switch to automatically recognize these sounds correctly. Quite often I need to properly consider and overcome past habits in order to provide the correct answer. Also come changes in the diagnosis of consonants. Certain consonants can recognize almost no problem, but others, such as "K", "P", "T" or "F" by the implant were thrown into one bag and very difficult for me to separate them. So there 's a real gymnastics. For example, it can distinguish between the "S" from the "SZ" it's pure joy.
comes time for another trip to Cajetan. This time, in addition to rehabilitation of waiting for my tune. After the last meeting with Mr. engineer, which were almost expecting much cosmetic changes to the next tune. After completion of standard tests I knock on the door of Mr. engineer. After a short exchange of views the inner part of the implant is a magnet attached to the computer. What a strange feeling, like I'm afraid that all my memory is copied to your hard drive. One of the standard computerized testing is called. Impedance telemetry (Eng. ART: Auditory Nerve Response Telemetry) involving the computer analysis of sensitivity to the impulses of the auditory nerves. This is done automatically and in principle there is no need any "feedback" from the patient. During this test series comes to light mrowiących dzwonień in the brain like a powerful touch of the same tweeters stringed harp. It turns out that my nerves finally properly react to stimuli. It seems that Mr. Engineer was waiting for such results (reportedly sometimes takes time to auditory nerves became friends with coil hearing and began to effectively receive pulses). Engineer with welcome rubbing his hands. After a little while, pressing the space bar, looking at me from under her glasses look ... a wound to the head strikes again as this mess in the first months of use! Hurrah - I'm glad in my soul - finally some major challenges ahead. Mr. engineer, while continuing to carefully look at me, lets go another series of ever more powerful programs. The last program, the most powerful, I could have easily compared to other cyber sensations by activation of implants - until it appears on my lips smile when I remember the first day implants. This "small revolution" is the result of switching to a different mode of transmission pulses reportedly gives the impression not so much the more powerful but more accurate transmission of impulses. I was extremely happy because I have a sense of doubt seriously if I can train your ear to the current settings. And so it's time to move higher gears! Traditionally you leave the old program engineer in the event that experience proved to be too intense and it was necessary to temporarily return to the old program. Since I planned rehabilitation after tuning I need to return to the old settings because the brain implant has not yet had time to recover with new experiences and a totally spoil the course exercises. But immediately after exercise emotional return to the new program, and pending on the bus go on a little stroll in the nearby forest, listen to the sounds of nature ...
