Ah, Dani, that sounds so exciting. I have been wondering about going to a concert again, but I am afraid of the general volume. The last concert I attended, about 20 years ago, Fleetwood Mac, was SO intensely loud, my husband went to the desk and asked for earplugs. I scoffed at the absurdity of wearing earplugs to a live - and expensive - concert and spurned the ear protection. Well, the drive home was intensely silent, as my ears were blocked as a result of that assault. It took a couple of days to get back to normal. My husband still maintains that concert was the start of my hearing problems - the audiologist disagrees … All this to ask - do the processors dampen the sound to a safe and comfortable level? Do you have some sort of autosense on your hearing aids (I think you have Med-El), or did you have to make your own adjustments? I don’t even know if it is possible to further damage your ears after implantation … I quit riding behind my husband on his VERY loud vintage Harley motorcycle because I fear damaging non-implanted ear any further even though I have always worn protection (unlike hubby, who still has great hearing). But an open air concert sounds just wonderful, and I look back wistfully as we drive past a summer concert venue near our home …
