Re: HELP PLEASE: Speech Processing Question

[Guest guest]

Illana,

I hear everything very, very base...so base in fact that it sounds like wha,

wha, wha....I think everyone hears differently. It sounds like you are doing

very well. Are you going to Aural (speech) therapy. I just found out that

insurance will pay, and I know it will benefit me and my hearing...try it.

Speech processors have been designed for us to hear speech and therefore do

not process all the really low bass sounds. While users may perceive

differences in sound quality when changing the speed of the program, it doesn't

mean

that changing to a slower speed creates more bass sounds. My map goes down to

about 108 (Hz is it?) which means that is the deepest bass sound my processor

receives. My experience with bass sounds is that they took the longest for me

to perceive....and I don't get all of them in my implant. Ask your audie

about your map.

Does the 750Hz mean that you perceive bass sounds like male voice as a deeper

sound when you use 750Hz? I want to hear the deeper sounds as it is and not

in high pitch, is that possible with 900Hz and less? I want to hear bass sounds

and the higher sounds. A CI user once told me that it's NOT AT ALL POSSIBLE

TO HEAR BASS SOUNDS WITH A CI. HELP!! Ilana Deaf-Blind N24M 8/5/00 N24C Advance

It sounds like you need a map with stronger high frequencies. If you are not

getting those soft speech sounds like /s/, /sh/, /t/, /f/, etc then tell your

audie.

Ilana,

These numbers are NOT the frequency we hear, they are the speeds that

the strategy runs at.

Hello, Illana,

Please ask your audi to try mapping your processor with an emphasis on

the low frequencies. Your audi will understand what that means. She can also

bring down the high frequencies, and through trial, error and practice, you

may get the sound you are looking for.
