This blog was created with the intention of keeping my family and friends up-to-date about my sudden onset hearing loss, cochlear implant surgery and progress after activation. Since so much is going on, I figured it is easiest to just document my experiences in a place where everyone can read them on a regular basis. I truly hope that those who visit this site will get something out of it... ENJOY! :o)

'Based on today's findings, results suggest that Linda is receiving excellent benefit from her implant...'
for those of you who follow this sort of thing, here are the Audiological Results from my first two mappings:
"T" and "C" levels were obtained and three MAPs were created. Two MAPs were Ace MAPS and one MAP was a Speak MAP. Electrode #13 was disenabled in the Speak MAP as the patient reported discomfort. Testing in sound field with the Ace MAP revealed thresholds of 30 dB at 500 Hz and 4000 Hz, 25 dB at 1000 Hz, 35 dB at 2000 Hz and 3000 Hz, and 40 dB at 6000 Hz. CID sentenses obtained at 55 dB in sound field using a CD withouth visual cues revealed scores of 86% for the Ace MAP and 52% for the Speak MAP.
to the untrained eye (like mine), this all looks like gibberish... but i think it is safe to assume that 86 percent on any test is a good result!
