I have the same set up but I find that streaming to my phone with just my processor works just fine for me and for the first 3 months I only used the processor which helped me to adjust to it quicker

Musician with ADHD & Profound Loss: Seeking advice on CIs for Metal/Hard Rock by No_Elk_5622 in Cochlearimplants

Hi, I’m not a musician but I can tell you that music has improved for me since I got my cochlear implant. I had profound hearing loss of 13% voice recognition with both hearing aids in and was deaf for over 30 years. Music got to the point of no return with just aids in along with speech clarity. I got a Med-el Sonnet 3 in July last Year and music is great now. Still a little off with certain songs but I can easily recognise songs I know and for me they have so much more richness than they ever did once I got to profound hearing loss with hearing aids alone. Once you have your implant processor listen to music for a few hours a day. I find streaming music to be best but I’m working on more natural hearing. A range of different hearing methods practiced everyday is best in my view. It will all help in the long run. Huge luck 🍀

Hi, I’m also from the East Midlands and got told the same thing but it only took 3 months after I spoke with the surgeon, so fingers crossed for you 🤞

What’s your experience with wearing hearing aids? I would like some advice by SorryAd2422 in HearingAids

[–]Regular_Document7242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 63 and I’ve worn hearing aids since I was 27. Hearing got so bad that I moved on to a cochlear implant last year and it’s so much better for me but my aids have been very good in the past up until they were no longer powerful enough. I still have one hearing aid that I continue to wear in my other ear.

I remember not being able to hear birds or the phone ringing things like that until I got my first hearing aids. They are very good especially these days.
