2 Weeks Post Op

Two weeks, and I've hit the mark where I can turn on my device. I actually turned it on Monday evening, just out of curiosity since the packing was out...at first everything sounded really bad, kinda like a wind rushing noise. But I forgot to query, so I did, and that made it better. But I was on C2, and it was too loud, so I switched it down to C0 and that was really tolerable! I've been "on" since! And now at 2 weeks post today, I'm comfortably at C2. I tried C3 but it is too loud and actually seemed to make my eardrum ache, so back to C2. Everything sounds normal so far, a little fluid and ear congestion but nothing too bad as yet. And my tinnitus isn't so distracting now, whew! Hoping in the next couple days to get used to C3 as I've never had success getting past it or staying on it. I know that I have to keep in mind that the ear is still healing from surgery AND I have a hole, so those will affect my hearing quality but so far, it's not too bad. Anything is better than lopsided hearing :)
