Guess What is that Noise!

I am getting used to Ernie and hearing new sounds. Makes me feel like a contestant on a new show - Guess What is that Noise! Too bad there is no consolation prizes... 

I have been using the Discrimination Activities (Listening Gym) from HearningJourney.com - I am using the Thumb Prints exercises - very nice with ipod. You can even do it yourself without a listening coach.  With Thumb prints - you listen to a word then choose the correct word out of 4 choices. At this point, I am able to get at least 80% on most of the exercises. I was able to discriminate the word when I see it - but not without the visual cue (yet).
