Off to a home town football playoff game tonight! We'll see how well my ear can handle all the loud crowd and buzzer noises. Had a pretty good week at work with only one other day where my ear sounded like a blown speaker. I am still taking Zyrtec D but stopped the Afrin yesterday (don't want to get rhinitis!) Still have fluid, popping and tinnitus.
I'm looking forward to turning my implant up a level sometime this weekend. Let's hope I don't run into issues with feedback!
Another sound I discovered recently is the sound of my cat crunching on her treats. It's such a tiny sound, so I'm really happy I can hear it!
I had a hard time sleeping soundly two nights ago though as I was hearing the white noise machine all night (waves crashing on a beach). I'm so tempted to turn my ear off at night but I really need to get used to it and I need both my ears working to hear the alarm in the morning to go to work.
One thing I'm kinda down about is I'm still having some trouble hearing conversation in a crowded, noisy area (cafeteria for example). Don't know if this is because of my hearing aid in my left ear distorting background noise, or if the implant in the right ear is just not at an optimal setting for loud, noisy places.
But, I heard my husband ask me a question from the opposite end of our house today when I got home from work, at a fairly normal tone of voice, so I know the implant has made my hearing better in lots of ways!
My hair is finally starting to grow where it was shaved during surgery. At week 9, it's almost an inch long! Gosh, by the time I'll need my battery and processor changed, my hair will be fully grown back in just to be shaved again!
