Time for a quick update I suppose! It's now been 5 weeks since my adjustment. In the grand scheme of things, it's going fine. Not impressive, really no better than when I had my hearing aid, but the convenience is still hands down 100% worth it. I have only used my A profile, and stay at level 2. Anything else is too "sharp" or grating on my ear. Blah, blah, blah, nothing new from last time. I don't want to sound discouraging, so I'll leave it at that. I can hear better so I really can't complain much. I just need to find time to schedule another adjustment.
I haven't discovered any new sounds lately. My incision seems like it's slowly and finally starting to heal and close up. It spit out a big chunk of sutures a couple nights ago, and although tender, no more wide scab! And my tongue/taste issue is definately improving! The 24th of this month I will be 6 months post op and that seems to be right in line with how long it was supposed to take for my taste to come back. I would say it's 85-90% better right now. And my feeling in my ear (top of my lobe/cartilage) and scalp is getting better too. I can just about wiggle my ear again:)
The hair is still taking awhile to fully fill in. It grew in really wiry and choppy. My hair dresser had to cut the ends off twice just to get it to grow healthy and correct. I cut my hair to chin length just to help that section grow in faster. It was hard to do since I did have hair past my shoulders. Oh well, the style is cute! Fresh new look;)
I can say I'm used to hearing 24/7 out of my right ear now. Although I am still in awe that it's working as well as it is, the novelty has worn off. But I'm still one proud chick when someone asks about it or wants advice/info. It's life altering. I can't stress that enough!
