Not Hearing:

[Guest guest]

Hey folks I need some advise. I received my implant almost three years ago,

freedom bte. I was a long term deaf person caused by a fall at the age of

12, I was completely deaf for 43 years. After the implant I started hearing,

from almost the first day of activation which was March 27, 2006. It became

better and better and I was making out some sounds and voices not all of them

by a long shot but some which was real good and I was happy with it. It has

been almost a year since I been in for a checkup. Lately I have been

noticing that when people are talking behind me I can't hear them. This is

really

upsetting me, because I have been hearing people behind me from almost the

beginning. I have tried changing the setting, changing the filter and even the

batteries but nothing helps. Is there anything anyone can tell me that I

might be missing. Thank you,

Patsy

Lil Klein, I'm waiting to hear from my audiologist in St Louis, she's been

out of the office because of the holidays. I know she will get right back

with me as soon as she gets my message. I expect her to make an appointment

for

me to come in.

Patsy,

Have you tried replacing your microphone cover?  If that doesn't work what about

contacting your audiologist or Hear Always-depending on who you deal with

problems with your processor-and brain storming ideas with them.  Also, most

people go in at least once a year for some fine tuning on their processor.
