One year later ....

Well Hello Bloggers ...on Friday I went to see Adrienne and had my one year review . She was very pleased with how my hearing had progressed over the last 12 months ....there is still a bit more growth in the hearing that should come over the next 3 to 6 months if I keep working on increasing my volume and pushing the hearing a bit more ... so I will continue to try and do that but  what happens some times is that I get in a very comfortable place with my hearing and just want to stay there . So I need to work on this a bit more ....
On Friday I got the program "Clear |Voice " ( CV) on one of my 3 programs . This program softens the background noise . I could not wait to try it because all noises are equal with  my C I and the world is a very noisy place . I turned the program on with CV as soon as we left the office . We were in Park Lane and once off the elevator and we were walking out I noticed that I heard no sounds --- where are they ?? Talk to Rhonda and all seemed normal but no other noise --amazing --- then we drove to Mic Mac Mall --the drive over was again in silence except when Rhonda talked -- no road noise at all ................. in the Mall all was quiet --then we stopped for coffee and I put on the other program which I usually use ---- Oh the NOISE in the mall ...... it was soo loud ... I changed back very quickly ........then off we went home ... we were going out later so I went upstairs for some quiet time and when I came downstairs I could hear some sound --- not sure what it was but it really sounded like a sewing machine and I am thinking --what is Rhonda doing sewing ?? As I got into the dinning room I could see that Rhonda had the vac going but the noise I was hearing was soooo soft ...... that was neat ,,,,,
Today I used CV all day --the drive into city was so peaceful and we were in a restaurant and it was certainly much better for me BUT ...I told Rhonda on the way home that I am really missing all the sounds I heard all the time and that my hearing right now almost does not seem real --- I know I can switch back and forth and I will just giving the CV the full run right now .....
My 3rd program is the one that I use with my MP3 player and there  some changes made to that also but so far have not had time to check it out so will save that for another blog ....
Have a good Saturday night ............ Cheers ............
