Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi all, What would happen if the audiologist when mapping sets the threshold for the electrodes lower than the softest sound you can hear? Why do they stop right at the softest sound rather than yanking it right down to the lowest level possible? The reason I'm asking is because since I have tinnitus I look at the screen for the flashing light so that I can identify which sound the beep is. However I don't think for a lot of those soft sounds they would actually register if I was facing another way. Is that a bad thing? It is only when I'm looking at the screen that I can actually pick out the sound. I'm wondering if I am going lower than my brain is ready to work with?
