Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / May 2005Wednesday is the big day
Tomorrow at 1:30 I have an appointment for them to activate and begin programming my cochlear implant. The wait has been ... I try not to think about it so I don't get anxious, but that also means I can't concentrate on anything else either. I have no patience. Never did. Never will. But someone up there keeps trying to teach me. Anyways, all good thoughts, wishes and prayers will be greatly appreciated. Wednesday May 25, 2005. 1:30 pm Pacific Daylight time. They keep telling me not to expect too much, especially right away, so I try not to think about that either. Jo ((((Jo)))) I will be itching to get home and see your report.

Pray that it won't take too long for things to work out really well for you, and you will be able to hear all the things you've been missing ---especially music.

SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare It been a very long day. They activated the cochlear implant today, and yes it works. I can hear things I haven't heard in years. That's the good news. I can also hear feedback like tones that just about drown out everything else. We spent two and a half hours today programming it, and still have a ways to go. But the audiologist is hopeful that I will eventually have a very good result. This is an ear that has heard absolutely nothing in several years, so I guess I need to give it some time to adjust.

There's a blog I've been following kept by someone who's a few months ahead of you on the implant (she's a friend of a friend). She's still adjusting but having great success. It's at <http://hearingloss.blogspot.com/>. SignatureAF Wooooo-Hoooooo!! By the time gimpfest comes along you'll be an old pro and hear every annoying thing!lol Huge hugs, Kelly C. > It been a very long day. They activated the cochlear implant today, and yes > it works.

When you had hearing, your brain was in the habit of screening out extraneous noise. But since losing your hearing in that ear, it's gotten out of the habit. It will just take some time to reprogram your brain a little, but it will happen. There are auditory training techniques that can be used to help the process along, but mostly, it just takes time.

It must be frustrating to have to wait out all the adjusting and programming, but it all sounds most promising. Got my fingers crossed and my prayers said that the settling in moves along quickly. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare I have seen how that implant works and it is amazing. I do not blame you for being so distracted. This is a big thing and I know everything is going to work out for you. You are probably very anxious.. I mean you probably ask yourself what will the first sound be like? or will it work. I am a little late with this you probably already have been back at home. Anyways best wishes for you!
