MUCH BETTER AFTER REMAPPING

Went to audi today. Told her I didn't care for either program as they are. She asked why. One program peoples voices sound normal but I had trouble understanding them. The other I could understand what they said fine, but everyone sounded like they had a cold. Low nasal voice and it drove me crazy. So she went back to the drawing board, I listend to the beeps and let her know when it sounded comfortable, and then she tweaked the programs. I had her increase the volume and on on switch on the processor I had the volume increased even more to use with the phone. Night and day difference on the phone. Then I was put in the sound booth so she could see what frequencies I was hearing. Before the surgury I was hearing at about 110 dbs if at all. Now, I can hear between 30 and 50 dbs. Huge difference.
I go back in early april. Meantime I have a different program on each processor to play with to decide which one I like then it's on to the fidelity 120 program.
