I had my one month post activation CI mapping appt today and had excellent results. I started from a higher place because I decided to get the CI sooner than later because I was missing a lot in real life. AuD said some patients hear a slight delay between HA and CI ears, and the PPS is already set to the max so no adjustment option available. My brain will adjust. Adding some CI volume has helped with the issue. Added several programs to try out. I was offered to skip my 3 month and come back at 6 unless I needed volume or a specific change. Of course real life hearing offers more challenge than the booth.
Mapping: percentages listed below show results before with aids, and one month after activation with CI left ear and new HA right.
Words both ears aided: 76 - 92%
Words left ear only: 40 - 72%
Sentences in quiet both ears aided: 98 - 98%
Sentences Cl only: 55 - 89%
Sentences in noise both: 61 - 94%
Sentences noise Cl ear only: 37 - 88%
