I got the processor part of my implant yesterday and hooked it up. First, there was kind of a hearing test with the implant hooked up to a computer. Then we programmed it and turned it on. I'm not really able to describe the "noise" I can hear. Let's just say I can hear stuff, though not sounds as they really are. Had some problems right off the bat with dizziness. Not entirely sure why. I figure it's something to do with how the nerves are being stimulated. Went back in today and spent a lot of fiddling with the computer and the implant. Luckily we were able to solve the dizziness problem. I could also differentiate tones and certain sounds too, which is good. I'll take things slowly and see how things go.
Oh, I got TWO processors. I also a remote control for them as well as assorted cords, multiple kinds of batteries, plug-ins, battery chargers, cases, a dry-aid jar, and a set of manuals that rivals the ones I have for my computer. All that took up a box the size of a suitcase. I also got a backpack. A backpack?
