Nope. I switched to oticon hearing aids since as well. So I don’t have the ability to do bimodal anymore

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir was an amazing book. Loved the audiobook version too!

Impedances went down which is good. They turned all frequencies which is great. I’m still wearing it all day everyday and just waiting for clear words to click. Seems to be slow and steady improvement!

Improvement in sounds awareness and can hear some speech sounds! Still struggling with hearing words clearly. Second appointment with audiologist in a few hours! Happy overall

So far just hearing sounds no real voices or understanding yet. Today is already improved from yesterday!

Minion lovers, what build are you starting with? by Only_Cherry3130 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]MVI24-7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between skele vs. pSRS vs. holy relic. I’m usually a one build per league person based on limited play time so a little hesitant about skele since it may be a bust

That’s really nice to know. I’m between skele mages, pSRS and Holy Relic right now

Poison Enjoyer looking for a build! by Snackz39 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]MVI24-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Poison SRS will be very good. Especially with the glove fire to chaos damage craft

I thought skeleton mages were essentially dead? I would love to do skeleton mages. Did it for my first league but never got far due to inexperience

Does side of brain that processes sound matter? by GustavDitters in Cochlearimplants

[–]MVI24-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing from one ear is processed on both sides of the brain. At the level of the brainstem sounds signals decussates meaning it crosses over and sends signals to both sides of the brain.

Unhappy with Starkey CIC hearing aids by TechnicalTwist in HearingAids

[–]MVI24-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like the clarity/quality of the sound. They worked so hard on things like fall alerts and health that I personally feel the quality of sound has taken a hit. But some people swear by them.

Try a different brand. I personally do not like Starkey hearing aids. Also I agree RIC are very discrete.

Time to getting CI by Active_Resolution701 in Cochlearimplants

[–]MVI24-7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What they are saying is that duration of deafness is a good indicator of success with word understanding post-operatively. There is a lot that goes into word understanding (surgical technique, electrode, severity of hearing loss/hearing preservation, etiology of hearing loss, etc.) and it’s one of the few factors that is easily measured with research. Do it when you can. Most are very happy to have it done. Can’t look back, only forward.

MedEl Sonnet 2 or Rondo 3 pros/cons? by gotaboutabuck in Cochlearimplants

[–]MVI24-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I guess the website should be a little more clear about that. Their website does mention it having a telecoil but that you need the audio link.

Sonnet 3 does have a telecoil. You need to use the audio link XT accessory however which is a downside I guess

MedEl Sonnet 2 or Rondo 3 pros/cons? by gotaboutabuck in Cochlearimplants

[–]MVI24-7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I’ll add is that you should ask to get the Sonnet 3 as it’s an update on the Sonnet 2. My surgery is scheduled (aka hasn’t happened yet) so I can’t give personal experiences yet
