My cochlear device is working much better than the first two days. Today is my seventh day since the switch on ..
With the cochlear device:
1- I can hear sounds from far away, whether my room's door is opened or closed.
2- I can hear our own bird whistling! Even if my room's door is closed!
3- If the television is switched on, with a low volume, I can hear some sounds.
4- I can hear my breathe clearer than before.
5- I can hear sounds of people from outside our house!
But still, I can't understand the sounds .. but it is getting clearer than the first day!
What annoys me is the "BEEP SOUND"! I don't know when it will end .. Does anyone knows?
I'll write soon :)

My Switch On Day!
Hey!
lol I hear very strange sounds :p!
Let me tell you from the beginning of my switch on till now! .. At 9 o'clock in the morning I had a meeting with the programmers. When the device has turned on I said "THANKS GOD! MY COCHLEAR IMPLANT IS WORKING WELL!" .. I heard very strange sounds, my father's voice or men generally was like women lol ;p I laughed and said "Why do I hear like that? even my voice is funny!" :D I wasn't completely shocked because I had expected that I will hear sounds in different way, different than my hearing aids. COMPLETELY different than my hearing aids! I am really bothered by these voices. But by the time, it will work better and my brain will recognize more sounds.
Now I use both my hearing aid and the cochlear implant device. They told me that some said it is better to wear hearing aids so that you can know voices and some said that it is better to wear only the cochlear implant device so that you will depend on it more. Anyway, I wear my hearing aid because I feel it is better to wear it.
I can hear sounds, but I can't understand them. I have realized that when I text messages from my mobile I can hear the "tick tick" sounds more than with hearing aids!
It is really annoying me! But I should be patience and wait for my next switch on which will be after one month! Too long!
