Normal is Boring: Bits and Pieces
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/10/bits-and-pieces.html
Musings through filtered ears. Friday, October 22, 2010. If I had to make a decision today which program I like best, I would choose HiRes-S. But I have until Tuesday to continue experimenting. On Tuesday, the audiologist will build onto the program with the setting I'm most comfortable with. As we get more advanced and add more power, things will get louder and clearer. I want a wider IDR!

Normal is Boring: Stepping it up!
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/10/stepping-it-up.html
Musings through filtered ears. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. I went for my 3rd mapping yesterday, and what a step up! I knew I was ready for another visit. I kept increasing the volume over the weekend. I was at the point on Sunday where I couldn't raise it any higher - I had maxed out my current settings. My brain wanted MORE and I couldn't give it more. But yesterday.I got more. My current programs are:. Whats the 50/50 and 30/70 mean? October 28, 2010 at 3:55 AM. Im using 50% external mic, and 50% T-mi...

Normal is Boring: Rehab
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/11/rehab.html
Musings through filtered ears. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Hello My name is Dave and I am . bionic.". The group shouts in unison. "Hi Dave! Ok, maybe that's not what really happened at "rehab," but dammit, it should have! I wanted the donuts and bad coffee and anonymous strangers congratulating me on my 3 weeks of new hearing. Unfortunately, if I want *that* kind of a rehab session, I'll have to start drinking or taking illegal substances. Oh well.there's always next year. I dig amateur photography and ho...

Normal is Boring: Flickers
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2011/02/flickers.html
Musings through filtered ears. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Those of you who know me personally are aware that I am - how can I put this delicately - obsessed with film. More than obsessed, really. For some, it might appear to be a bit disturbing. Clearly, it's a passion of mine. Next to spending time with my family, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing than watching a flick or a really good television show. Since I've recently discovered blogging, I thought it would be a good time to reinvent my de...

Normal is Boring: Thumbprints and Dead People
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2011/02/thumbprints-and-dead-people.html
Musings through filtered ears. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Thumbprints and Dead People. The Hearing Journey website, a place where CI recipients can talk, share their experiences and practice hearing in the "listening room," has a Thumbprints Placement Test that I have been giving myself every other month to mark my progress. A word is spoken and I have to choose which of the 4 words displayed is the word that is said. These are my scores:. Oct 19 = 58%. Dec 1 = 66%. Feb 17 = 74%. Which I saw in the the...

Normal is Boring: 5 Days Since Activation
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/10/5-days-since-activation.html
Musings through filtered ears. Monday, October 18, 2010. 5 Days Since Activation. It's been 5 days since I've gotten the hook up, and I have only just scratched the surface. Here's what went down since activation day. More or less the same as Wednesday, the day of activation. Replay after replay of Road Runner cartoons. Beep-Beep, Beep-Beep! And what's really a series of beep-beeps without a million whistles? Program 2 - Hi-Res P - and boy is it stronger! October 19, 2010 at 10:19 PM. I dig amateur photo...

Normal is Boring: November 2010
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Musings through filtered ears. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. My next mapping on the 13th. I will be armed with knowledge about speech recognition for this visit, and have my audi adjust my settings so that I can find that elusive balance of speech recongition and comfortable sound levels. So until then.there isn't much else to do but continue leaning on that CI as much as I comfortably can. Just, well, don't talk to me. Thursday, November 18, 2010. Uh, what's that smell? Friday, November 12, 2010. Just lea...

Normal is Boring: Blast off!
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/11/blast-off.html
Musings through filtered ears. Friday, November 12, 2010. Just learned a little something today about hearing loss. Those with CIs are not prone to (further) damage due to loudness! We bionic folks are immune to this because our hair cells aren't used to transmit sounds to our brain. We have electrodes! So it's nice to know we can blast away and not have to worry about destroying our ears in the process. Does this make us superhuman? Well, not quite. We are not immune to headaches. Ya, we may not worry a...

Normal is Boring: Laying down the tracks
http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/11/laying-down-tracks.html
Musings through filtered ears. Friday, November 12, 2010. Laying down the tracks. Now this is where things get tricky. You know it's time for a new mapping when you are kind of stuck in hearing limboland. This is neither a good thing nor bad, but it is frustrating when you are an impatient person. Though I do consider myself patient, I should note that I am also greedy. I want more, dammit! But whenever, no rush. :-). I was supposed to go today for my one month mapping (one month! Hope you feel better!
