Hello everyone i got CI and activated. I hear my own voice and dad too. Other noise is crackle and echo is it normal for first time?
Congratulations.
Pops and crackles were very normal for me the first 2-3 weeks. At 3 weeks the lower frequencies started to sound a little better. From there things really improved quickly.
Good luck, your CI is working.
Do your rehabilitation every day. It will pay off.

Thank You. As for rehabilitation its my first time so i dont know what do to and wht i shld do?
Try streaming podcasts to your CI ear despite fact you will don’t understand anything for a quite of time (at least several month, but it is individual).
Decrease the speed of podcasts/videos (I’ve even set it to 0.6x in Spotify). Try different voices—lower-pitched men’s voices and higher-pitched women’s voices. Remember the difference in audibility, or take note and discuss it during the next fitting appointment.
Be patient and persistent in listening, ideally for several hours each day…
You don’t have to always actively listen. It can be played in the background, e.g. when you walk, but make sure it doesn’t affect your safety on the pavement/road.

You got your right side implanted. Can you hear with your left ear? The reason I ask is your new CI needs to be the only ear hearing sound. If the other ear hears sound the brain will use that ear rather than your new CI.
Everyone learns in different ways. This forum has a number of CI members who have described their rehabilitation in detail. This can help you a lot. Check out the Cochlear Implant section of the forum for much more help.
Your CI can be frustrating at first. Hang in there and don’t give up.
