I got the processor part of my implant yesterday and hooked it up.  First, there was kind of a hearing test with the implant hooked up to a computer.  Then we programmed it and turned it on.  I'm not really able to describe the "noise" I can hear.  Let's just say I can hear stuff, though not sounds as they really are.  Had some problems right off ( Read more... )

My dad got a backpack when he got his new sleeping breathing machine. I guess its easier to cart all the plugs and battery chargers around in than the box?

I'm glad you were able to get the dizziness worked out. I hope you are able to quickly adjust to the implants and find out how to make them work best for you.

Well, all the other stuff fit in this big box so I have no idea why I got the backpack. Promotional maybe?

Definitely sounds promising, but also intimidating as well. I hope there is some support beyond a few instruction manuals. *Bandito Hug* Be patient.

Thanks Bandito! I have the email for a couple of technicians at the hospital plus a number I can call there too. I also have a friend who has an implant.

I also have all you awesome guys too! :)

A backpack? This is serious business! And read the manuals, damn it! I hate it when people don't read the manuals. :p

I'm so glad you solved the dizziness issue. Just give it time, you'll adjust to this and hopefully it's going to be a lot better.

Yes, my lady. ;) I promise that I will go over everything. I'll have plenty of spare time on Friday so I'll probably do it then. :)

And thanks!
