Preparing For My 2nd Esteem Adjustment

Things I'm going to bring up during my adjustment:

- still can't get past A2, and don't really care for programs B or C

- still have tinnitus in both ears

- right ear feels full/plugged and like I need to pop it all the time

- right ear often gets feeling/sound of fluid in it

- skin around processor still really itchy

- whenever in crowded, noisy places or near traffic, my ear wants to focus on background noise, not people near me

- high pitched voices and tones (esp on radio) sound really distorted and get almost scratchy sounding (static?)

- my own voice can be too loud or booming, esp going to level 3 or higher

- sometimes it feels as though the hearing aided side is more clarified but not necessarily clearer

- still able to pick up more sounds and tones with right ear

- feel like ear has either completely plateaued or maybe even regressed some

This isn't my complete list, but the high points I want to touch on next week. Praying I get some good answers!
