Re: Maps - background noise

[Guest guest]

Hello Jaclie:  Guess I'm just not into the latest " buzz words " for us CI

wearer's (left side in Feb 08), but, just what does " mapping " and " adro " mean? 

Bring me up to date, please!!  Also, I just visited my audiologist for

rechecking and she made adjustments for all the different tones and added a

program expressively in an attempt to block out all the irritating " tinnitus "

noises that I've suffered from for years.  So far, it appears that the

adjustments are now allowing every little " squeak and squack " to come through

and as far as the " tinnitus noises " , they are still there.  Anyone suffer as I

do??  Any suggestions or antidotes would be appreciated.  Thanks, Bill

Subject: Maps - background noise

 

Hi, Dan,

I actually just dealt with this dilemma. I had a mapping and in

the office it was REALLY loud -which I usually like. But I had my audi set

it 2 " clicks " down where it was just moderately loud. I had him set it on

volume setting 7. That way I could go up or down. Well - sure enough, by

the time I got home - (4 hours counting stop for lunch) - I had aready

boosted the volume to 9! I forgot to account for adro that my audi

programed into each map. SO - as luck would have it - a local friend was

going for her mapping the following week. I gave her my processors, she

gave them to my audi - who hooked them up to the computer and clicked the

volume up 2 " clicks " on each map. (SHHH - don't pass that info around!

LOL) Aha! Perfect! So - I'm guessing the adro is what keeps voice from

getting distorted when loud, but kicks down he background noise, too. I

hated adro before - but so far, this time it is working fo me. Don't

forget - lowering or raising your sensitivity can help fine tune a map,

too. Hope this helps. Jackie )

Audi is short for audiologist. Mapping is what your audi just did when

she made adjustments to the programming.

Hi Bill,

My original CI in my right ear stopped the tinnitus in my left ear. But

when I stopped using that, the tinnitus came back with a vegeance for 15

years. Then I got a new CI in my left ear ... and that made the tinnitus

worse.

But fortunately, when I told the audiologist, she was able to make

adjustments and after another mapping session or two, the tinnitus is

gone. That's one definite benefit I appreciate.

Hi Jackie,

Admittedly I haven't played around much with the sensitivity issue since getting

the CI.

However, I could see possibly experimenting with it more after the upgrade to

the N5 cause of the remote. Whereas I could do some trial and error in places

with alot of background noises and without having to take the CI on and off to

do so.

Dan

P.S. Thank you all for your replies!
