I am a newly initiated Advanced Bionics user (3 years) and love my "new and improved" ears which are continually opening up whole "new" auditory worlds to me. I am awestruck and amazed at the technology that is too unbelievable to be real.
Now AB has Remote Programming for which I quickly volunteered to be a guinea pig for with my audiologist at Kaiser Permanente Hawaii. It was a fun experience to sit in a different room away from my audiologist and watch her on my phone app and listen while she adjusted the mapping on my CI. This is a great tool for someone like me who wants optimal use of this technology and can now do the fine-tuning from the comfort of my chair at home.
During Remote Programming, I was aware of the environmental sounds around me and used these as barometers to determine if the mapping result was better--which it was! The sounds were richer and sharper.
Mahalo nui (thank you) Advanced Bionics for the maika'i (fine/good) work!!
