It looks like it didn’t show me the pic before, I remember discussion about not trying too hard, that’s what I’m doing now, I do not guess word, I repeat sounds I get.
I see on paper it says ‘or’, but it really doesn’t make sense.
You have great brain since it could get 69% out of that poor hearing, but that’s because of context of a sentence and more time.
Wrs shows better how messed up our ears really are. Especially wrs in noise.
I have 100% on left ear at normal volume in quiet, but put me in white noise, with both ears unaided I’m at 60%, with aided at 80%. Put me in babble type of noise and I can only pretend I’m following conversation. But they don’t measure that. We’d be lucky if our background noise would only be like white noise.
I’d expect that idea of aids and CI as well is that we don’t have to have superhuman brains and suffer with understanding, if there’s tech to help us relieve some of that strain from us.
You’re lucky that your brain is so good, when it comes to time until now, but it looks like CI candidacy tests aren’t made for smart brains. And one asks how hard it was.
Listening shouldn’t be hard unless you’re in a disco / big bday party / wedding reception with rock band noise type of situation, and then they keep telling us that having 60% is great. While almost all of them have 100 or so.
It’s not that they’re paying for it out of their pocket, you are, through your insurance premiums.
Hell, if someone could guarantee me that I could get an op and get close to 100% for 30k eur, I’d take a loan like yesterday.
I keep my fingers crossed that you get fair evaluation next time.
