Third Mapping Session
I have been to the third mapping session on Dec 28th. I was greeted with my audiologist and a representative from Cochlear. In a week before, I asked my audiologist for the cable to connect CD player or computer to my BTE speech processor. She told me that she would call Cochlear to get one for me. BTW, this representative from Cochlear seems to be there for just looking at my mapping problem as my audiologist seems to struggle at the 2nd mapping session. She seems to resolve issues with audiologist and told me she will make sure that my accessories for connecting to iPod, CD player, etc be sent to my address. Then she asked for my address.
BTW, after the mapping session was done and went home... I seemed to hear less than I heard before but I can hear on P1 much better than P2, P3, and P4. I contacted my audiologist that I can't do well on P2 thru P4... but only P1 is good. She suggested me to either go back for re-mapping or continue with P1 until next mapping session. So it gave me thoughts what to do...
On Friday, Jan. 6th, I recieved the package from the Cochlear. Whoopie! I knew what it is going to be in it! I opened up the package, yep! It's cable for iPod/CD player and another cable for connecting to computer or anything that is plugged into household electricity.
I had to help my wife finish cooking the dinner, no playtime for cables...
Until yesterday, Jan 8th, I finally started to play with the cables... I had portable CD player and put on Mozart music since his biography was attractive and interesting... Yep! I am hearing some of it... Not all are too clear but much better to listen to something than nothing! I started to experiment connecting to my computer, but I don't seem to hear anything out of it. I haven't put Mozart music CD into my computer to test as I have heard on CD player.
Umm my next session is on January 28th, I think I can just wait little more for re-mapping. Next mapping session is pretty scary because after that, the next mapping session would be 6 months away!
