1 month -post follow up

ahh...  ok last monday went back to Boystown for 1 month post follow up... added new programs to increase loudness and high pitch (increase the dB from 80 to about 30) to even up with my low and middle pitches..  also did some listening practice and setting up baseline. According to one of the listening program.. i am now on level 3 and it has level 1-4!  So with visual clues of words and sentences i am able to listen with 80% or better...  without visual clues..  20% or less..  so i am not too worry yet... just need to continue to practice and work at it...  also need to get used to Ernie while lip reading. 

comparing to 1st week of activation - i am now able to listen to the radio (music) without having to hear the normal road noises (air rushing by, tires humming, etc.)  windows down - thus my brain is continuing to separate the sounds and noises
