I've just been to another routine programming appointment last Monday. I have to say, it went fairly well, and I've been managing to take the tests and came with fairly good results. My audiologist was impressed with me, because apparently it's rare that many people with sequential bilateral implants would get on well like me. I'm not that bothered, as I am only focusing on my hearing alone, I really am determined to get a better hearing because it frustrates me how I cannot understand people much. My audiologist has kindly made his effort in trying to get rid of high pitch noises in my bilateral implant which I have had since the switch-on. He has been walking back and forth from the testing room to computer room. I felt a bit guilty on having to make him walk in repeated pattern for ten minutes or so. But I was a little happier with the results, as the high pitches are no longer annoying, but fairly reduced. Which means he actually turned off two electrodes from me, but he allowed them two to be on if I change programs on the processor.
I have finally completed my college work for the term, which I am so relieved about because I warn you, college work, especially art and photography sure does torture you with balancing work. But I'm definitely pleased with my effort and work, as I believe they look the best I could make.
TIP: If the high pitches are getting to you, talk with your audiologist to try reduce it as possible.
