4 For 4!

Bumped up to level 4 today after church and again, going well :) I am confident level 5 will be just fine too. I'm using my eveyday setting which is C. For church I had to go back down to level 2, but when I got home I went for my forth program bump and 4 is great. I heard my phone text sound, a quiet swooshing, from 4 rooms away! I kinda feel like I have a secret agent ear, haha :) I haven't been paying attention to how well I'm understanding speech though. I don't think I've been saying "what?" or "huh?" very much. Once I get settled into level 5 I'll start paying more attention to that detail.
I'm cautiously optimistic that this will last and be able to maintain the clearer less screechy sound. However, I say cautious because the growth of scar tissue happens over time and if I grow a lot again then I'm worried I'll notice a decrease in quality of sound. But, I'm determined to enjoy how amazing it sounds now! And as Dr. Seidman stresses, think positive thoughts to promote good healing. I can do that!
