Guest guest Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 HI Here is the update on Don , Yesterday was his big day of Activation. He started hearing different sounds from the time we left the office. HIs first sound was beeps when I talked but that went away already and now we are having a normal conversation. He as been hearing my voice which he really has never heard my true voice and that has been super exciting for me. We went out to eat and he heard the music in the background and people talking. He also heard the phone ring last night and the TV. I think he is moving pretty fast, faster than what the audi says will happen in a few days. Today he will listen to the program Sound and Way Beyond. He did have a problem with the magnet falling off after we got home but he thinks he fixed to stay on stronger, I sure hope so. I will keep updating as days go on. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Diane, that's a good start. How many weeks ago did your husband had CI surgery. There might just still be a bit swelling at the magnet site and that's why the magnet falls off. Ask the audi if it's ok to skrew the magnet towards the scalp a bit. Be cautious not to make the magnet too tight. You must check to see that his skin underneath the magnet doesn't go red or if he feels discomfort at the magnet site as too tight a magnet can cause skin irritation and skin breakdown. Thus I would advise to consult the audi. Keep us posted with both you and your husband's new exciting journey. Regards.
