Actually, my hearing have improved to some degrees over a month. I used P2 mapping immediately after P1, it makes my muscles twitching often, same with P3 and P4 which is stronger. So I stayed on P1 for three weeks, it seemed to iron out twitching problem before I switched to P2. I liked it and am hearing more. The word "Earobics" are s...

Actually, I didn't get good mapping last time. But I had another speech processor with old mapping, I used it for the last two weeks before the appointment. I was able to use that mapping in yesterday's appointment and modified it to hear more in new mappings. I am hearing more sounds from voices and environmental noises. I am pro...

I was watching Amy Cohen Efron's vlog and I was truly impressed with her vlog. I couldn't agree more. I would like to emphasize the parents of deaf babies, to do your own research before making decision for the future of your deaf babies. DO NOT RELY on the advice of the doctors and audiologists only, please do take a heed to the advice of Deaf people as well!

My Bionic Ear Journey. Cochlearized 11/17/2005 - Activated 12/19/2005 - Implant failed. Friday, July 27, 2007. Here's interesting new technology that bypass hearing bones, cochlea and goes into auditory nerves. I remember European countries do "brain-stem" implants that bypass cochlea but it was huge failure on that kind of implant. Not everyone succeed using cochlear implants, why? Here is the article from ScienCentral NEWS on New Hearing Implant. Hat tip: Oscar the Observer. Posted by Mike at 12:18 PM.

It is not cochlear implant device, it's the Middle Ear Transducer implant. Why I put it up with this? There are some features on this implant which is very interesting.

My Bionic Ear Journey. Cochlearized 11/17/2005 - Activated 12/19/2005 - Implant failed. Monday, February 20, 2006. I have called to reschedule to have mapping done at earlier time. That's three weeks after the fourth mapping session instead of waiting for 2 months. Went in last Friday the 17th. I have faded out all maps on the programs and that's the reason I have to go back again. I decide to put away music for now. I'd rather to focus all on environmental and talking. Isn't it too loud for you hearies?
