Yesterday's mapping session
Hey everyone, it has been about 3 months since the last mapping!
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.
What I heard that I didn't hear before... my daughter's crying and laughing - there's more but I can't remember what it was. One time, I thought I heard elevator making noises. I am sure there is more to come, I haven't recognized noises yet.
Last three months is not really that great, but now I am relieved to continue with positive attitude after the new mappings. Seems like to me that I am ready to throw it out, but I am being patient and persist in the process!
Again, it is taking LOTS and LOTS of time to adjust and LOTS and LOTS of patience are required to be in the process. I think that I have ossified cochleas that is BIG disadvantage to speedy process compared with others who does not have ossified cochleas. So I am glad that yesterday's mapping have gone well. WHEW!

I've been worried that I wouldn't have a good result from my implant due to no stimulation for 30+ years...yet you can hear sounds with ossified cochleas? I am amazed!! That's great!! I actually didn't know they implanted anyone with ossified cochleas...congratulations! :)
Here's to more progress for you! :)
